Marc, I used "tool dip" on my old Harveys drysuit. At the end of 350 dives it suddenly started leaking in the crotch, armpits, and feet. I washed it with mild detergent, dried it well and turned it inside out to do the seams. I painted four layers of slightly thinned tool dip with a 3/8 inch brush. (Two cans at $6 USD each). The result looks like the seams on a DUI suit. In some places I used it to re-laminate the nylon also. No fuss - leaks! I used it for about 40 more dives while waiting for my custom Atlan suit and the stuff showed no signs of pealing off. It is much softer than aquaseal so it will not crack if stretched. It is also much cheaper and comes in a few colors.
