chuckie:
any thoughts on the best way to fix a torn latex wrist seal on a nookie dry cag ? is it a case of replacing the seal or simply gluein it back together?

Greg:
To my knowledge right now the only way to get back a water tight seal is to replace the broken seal.

Talk to

Outdoor Adventure Store or
http://www.rubberman.co.uk/home.htm

It is possible to buy the seals and attach them yourself, but I am not sure how successful people have been at this.

It'll need to be replaced.  I mean, you could try gluing it and see how you get on but I doubt it would do much good.  If you want to replace it, the best bet is probably to bring it back to the shop.  If they are nice, they might do it for free, though there may well be a (fairly small) charge attached.

Shops can take weeks to get all this done so be prepared to be without a cag for a while.  Alternatively, you could send the cag to Nookie directly yourself - I dunno if this is any faster or cheaper (though the post alone will probably make it more expensive)

All this hilights a good point:  I dunno how you ripped the wrist seal but laytex (as we all know from another use it has) is notoriuosly easy to tear.  If you are getting a cag with dry, e.g. laytex seals, you should try yo get one that has a second seal over the laytex.  The outer seal (usually made from neoprene) is much tougher and protects the laytext from thorns, branches, flailing finger nails, etc.  Cags like this are normally a bit more expensive but worth it in the long run.

chuckie:
cheers fot the advice guys  :D will give it a go with rubber cement and see if it holds, the actual seal around the wrist is ok, its torn where the rubber isnt under a lot of tension so it just might hold.....

kmck:
I had this done cost me 50 euro to do in outdoor adventure
They replaced both seals at the same time still working 2 years on.
