I ran into something pretty weird while trying to replace the drawstring with a boot lace. Inside the hem where the string goes it was all sticky and I couldn't even get a crochet hook through. It would pull out with sticky black goo on it, like after you take electrical tape off of something. What the hell. So I worked dish soap in with the crochet hook and finally, after literally an hour, got it worked all the way around. Wow. Then I could get a wire through, then taped the bootlace to the wire and pulled it through.
That was a lot of work. I'm baffled what the sticky stuff was. This suit is a black Dolfin jammer that's about two years old. It's been used a lot but is holding up fine, the stitching is faded but the team logo silkscreened on is holding up beautifully.
I figured out the search. I was looking on the home page, now I see that once you go into the forums you can search through that forum, then when in a thread you can search through that thread. I'll get the hang of it.
