   |  Sticking on pockets I am about to embark on a "lets get stoned on the glue" mission on my new drysuit. The old dampbag has finally bitten the dust after i managed to pick up a practially brand new ottery thingy for £50 (yes £50, was MTM for a bloke, and somehow fits me with my 26inch inside leg......  ). However, it has no pockets on it. I have been donated one DIR Zone pocket, and the old suit has my original two still stuck to it, no amount of tugging, pulling, hot water or even a knife seems to want to make them let go. Testament to the glue (two part "Alpha" s 5001 A if you must know) and my sticking abilities..... So to the point. I know i have the right pockets. I know i have the right glue. I know, more or less, where i want to stick them, on the sides of the thighs.... Question is, how high up do i want to stick them?

| Easy one H, you want them so that your hand reaches the bottom of the pocket exactly. The only time this is not possible is when your arms are so long that your hands reach past your knees  HTH, Fraser.

| Familiar story. I baught my MTM Polar Bear from somebody who thought his ass looked to big in it, and it fits me just fine. Problem being one useful pocket, one knife pocket! Last night the knife pocket came off with the help of a hair dryer. Now all I have to do is order another pocket and glue! |
