Aquaseal works quite well, infact over the years several dry suit (neoprene)
manufacturers have used it to coat their seams on th inside. Aquaseal has
it's own solvent called "cotal 240" which speeds up the cure time to 2-4
hours instead of 12-24. If you have the time, it is easier to work without
the solvent and do the job in steps. For doing large areas, the cotal makes
the mixture too thick and you have to work fast. Without the cotal, putting
the tube in hot water before using will help it spread easily. Two small
tubes should do all the seams in a suit.

Aquaseal seams to work on the inside of older Viking suits as well but it
will peel off the smoother outside fabric.

Hope this helps.
