I have three year old drysuit that have good seals but it has been leakig and getting worse for over a year now.The problem is i cant find the leak ,ive tried all the leak finding process's like filling it up with water from the inside and pushing down all over the suit and did not find anything then i turned it inside out and tried the same thing,no leak.i decided to just silicone/seal all the seams in the area i was getting water on my clothes,that didnt work. well this past weekend it was really leaking bad i was getting real wet in one area,i thought for sure id find the leak easily now,so i took it home and tried water again and no leak so i decided to seal the neck,wrist,and ankle seals with bottles and then fill it with air then spray it with soapy water all over the suit ,dam thing held the air real well and i still cant find a leak ! it seems to be leaking through the material as if the material itself is bleeding through on falls ,more like seeping through the grain of the material,i cant think of anything else so t be it. SO im thinking of trying one last thing ,so im wondering if theres a way to spray some kind of water proofing material on the entire material part of the suit?? anyone ever do this if so what type of spray should i buy or have any ideas on what could be leaking?? thanks
