Is this product similar to marine sport mask seal? I use mask seal to prevent leaks around my mask and looking for a less expensive alternative

my diving goes back to before silicone mask skirts so no direct experiance BUT i do know silicone grease (and oils) WILL degrade silicone rubber. also likely to fog the glass. i might decide not to risk my mask or my life. luck

I'm not a diver,and have only used this product on water filter O-Rings, but I can't imagine there being a better or cheaper product to preserve/lubricate/ rubber that is exposed to water......and a little bit goes a looooong way. I would recommend trying it, and at worst you'd have a less expense product for maintenance and storage of your gear...I believe it'd make an excellent seal though......and regarding deterioration of the rubber/silicone mask, silicone grease should be the lesser of other petroleum evils.

So far i've just used the Food Saver brand of bags. But you should be able to use any bags. I'm not happy with the performance of my Rival vacuum sealer though. It worked great the first few times using it. We haven't used it very often and we are already having problems with it. It's suctioning fine but the sealer does not kick in to seal. We've only had it for around 6 months. We keep the rubber part that does the seal protected so it doesn't dry out or flatten by wrapping it in the original packaging and still it's not working propertly. So, I don't recommend this product.

I'm not sure of which seals your talking about but this is a seal conditioner which keeps seals flexible and protected from sun light destruction. It is useful on door seals, slide seals on campers, and window seals. It is a mineral oil product and acts as also a lubricant. Hope this helps.

Lisa - I wouldn't use this tape because it doesn't have very much adhesive. It's a fine tape with which to adhere gauze to the skin. Easy on the skin. There's no way I can envision this providing an air seal. Why don't you simply use a jaw strap?

Not really because its tape if you are looking for a "marine grade connector" that is different. there is a bit of glue inside of those that melts to give a waterproof seal. This is more for connecting loose wires for example in a car / cars wire harness. That said, if you were looking for a water resistant seal, if applied properly, I don't see how water would get in once heat was applied and it shrunk

Michele: It's a very good underwater epoxy product that I use to seal open spaces between my metal skimmers and edges of hard plastic trim that surrounds them. at times a little of the epoxy will get on a small area of liner and will eventually separate. I don't know your exact use but I use other glue/ materials made to seal problems, like small rips in the vinyl liner.

Yes it does seal around the face , its very comfortable and extremely cool in the face,, very nice! The only big problem is that if the fuse outside are really strong it still gets into the mask and actually I had to remove the mask once because the fumes in the mask where stronger inside the mask than outside..

Looks like the same mask. I have used it for a few months with no problem. Sure hope it is safe. I play senior ball and a short stop did not have one and took a line drive right to a eye socket and will loose his sight and need extensive surgery, has been in hospital for two weeks.

Each Permatex gasket adhesive is specific for the function on the label - that said - I use the black most b/c it's a great adhesive as well - I recently did the valve covers on the old Yellow Dog Pickup and it seems to work as well for that app as the specific gasket sealer. I've used the Permatex line for decades - me fave is the black - reading the instructions on the packaging and tube seems to imply the products R for making gaskets rather than sealing or augmenting factory-type gaskets. I've done both. Reckoning what could it hurt added to a replacement gasket. It's a great way to stick a gasket that has a tendency for fall off during installation. ~:0) VivaChas!

I don't know why the different name! I'm also training for pararescue...been there before when I was 19. I believe these are the generic brand of the actual ones. The REAL rocket fins are by Aqualung but they cost about $30-$40 more. I have mine now and work great! Don't forget though to also get the proper mask they use in indoc. Its the Aqualung Atlantis ii mask! I had to reorder mine bc I got some cheap oval mask. You can get the real mask at shopnavyseals.com its cheaper than Aqualung website. Good luck training!

I used this last summer and have not seen any ill effects at all. I believe this works by modifying the friction properties of the fluid rather than by softening the seals.

That bottle is actually mislabeled.. It is a large bottle of Multipurpose. I just ordered one myself and it is not the marine cleaner. I sort of figured it was mislabeled because the marine Spray Nine has a blue label if memory serves. To answer your question, though, the marine cleaner has a somewhat stronger version of the same smell. I don't know about you but I really like the "clean scent" that Spray Nine leaves without being sweet or florally.

Sorry I'm not sure what you are asking. I have had my bottle for a while and don't know anything about a seal.

I've had mine for a year now. Noticed a distinct slowing of vacuuming as well as a failure to seal similar to the Foodsaver line, but I've had foodsavers bad out of the box, lasting maybe one week!! I purchased a "tune up kit" and noticed the plastic adhesive stripping barely covers the ends of the seal line, so I used a bit of duct tape on both ends to make sure the ends were covered. Frankly, I feel I shouldn't have to do this seeing this is supposedly an upgrade to a Foodsaver (and pricey to boot). So far it seems to have done the trick; we'll see how long it will last after that. I've had mine for a year now.

The mask is no different from any other scuba mask except for the attachment point for the GoPro. I used it to snorkel with whale sharks a few weeks ago. A snorkel will attach to the strap on either side.I love this mask. Comfortable and much easier than trying to hold the cam in your hand. You DO have to be cognizant of moving your head too quickly if you want a good quality video, but you're going to have to edit footage anyway.

No!!! MSA does make a cartridge that will protect against LOW LEVELS of chlorine fumes (see manufactures ppm per chemical sheet) but most courses would require a SCUBA breathing device.
