15. Let the wrist seal and fabric
Figure 40
cool and then remove the jig.
16. Inspect for proper adhesion by
examining the entire perimeter
on both the inside and outside
of the suit.
17. Pinhole leaks may be corrected
by re-heating the area for an
additional 30 seconds using
maximum pressure.
INSPECT REPLACEMENT
After installation is complete the suit should be leak tested before use.
If a leak originates from a wrinkle in the fabric, the wrist seal should
be removed and a fresh neck seal installed. Repeat the leak test.
Once you have verified there are no leaks your new wrist seal is now
ready to be used.
