Scuba Forum / General / November 2003Personalizing a wetsuit?
A friend and I just took up a special offer on a wetsuit deal. Unfortunately this left us with exactly the same wetsuit. Are there any products available to personalize it? Its all black with cressi written in yellow across the chest. (I would really like to have a superman logo instead :P ) Lee > A friend and I just took up a special offer on a wetsuit deal. > Unfortunately this left us with exactly the same wetsuit.

Are there any [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Lee That's easy. Talk your buddy into peeing in his suit, don't rise it. After a week or two, you'll know which suit to avoid, so will the whole boat. Other than that, use a laundry marker to put your name on the size tag. Or if you must make up a name tag for every one to see. Find a zodiac dealer the paint they used for putting numbers on the bow will work fine. Just be very neat or it will look like crap. I take it the real problem here is that you two look like a couple. So the easier method would be when around other divers. During the dive briefing, when the DM asks if they are any more questions. In a loud voice say "we are not gay nor a couple" That and stop holding hands. True story: A dive buddy of mine once said in jest on a dive club dive on a large boat. In his new dry suit while pointing at his a.s "does this make my a.s look big?" He went two years with out a lady diver girlfriend. He had to date non divers, a guy got to do what a guy has to do to get laid.(direct quote) The gay guys knew he was straight, but the girls in the club where positive he was gay. The word spread from there. One sunny afternoon while out diving with the club. I gathered the group on the back deck did the dive briefing and at the end declared that B wasn’t gay and it was just a big miss understanding. Needless to say B being very cut, very good looking (GQ model) and well employed. The action has been non stop. I have met some of his "friends", lets say one has to be careful not to stare. Which translate to him buying me beers for life or when we go diving. Which as a good bud he does. T > In a loud voice say "we are not gay nor a couple" > That and stop holding hands.

Call the Cressi wetsuit maker and ask if they accept work for custom refit images. If yes, go with it. If no, then... 2. Call other wetsuit dealers and ask them the same thing. If yes, go with it. If no,then... 3. Ask them if they have the fabric / colors that you need. Hell... ask them if they can come up with the pattern. If yes, go with it. If no, then... 4. Hire the best tailor you can find. Explain about the fabric needed and let him /her measure you for the design. Best wishes... and if you pull this off, will you please send me a pic of you wearing this wetsuit ?? <grin> Calamari left this mess on 19 Nov 2003 18:44:26 -0800 for The Way to clean up: >Best wishes... and if you pull this off, will you please send me a pic >of you wearing this wetsuit ?? <grin> Yea, but send a guy a pic of you nekkid????

I wasn't asking if I could shave it. I meant for you to shave it... and send me a 'before' and 'after' pic. But, if I were to shave it, I'd insist on using a straight razor and no shaving cream. > As a nurse, were you ever responsible for butt-shaving prior to, say, a > hemorrhoid operation? No, I've never shaved anyone's butt. Actually, I can't remember ever having a patient who had hemmorrhoid surgery. But, considering that most hemmorrhoids are internal (exception to that is probably Steve Spencer), I would imagine that shaving isn't done anyway. If the hemmorrhoids protrude, there probably isn't going to be a call for shaving the area either. Thinking back to body parts that I have shaved on patients...it's been mostly arms, legs and chests for IV access, and sometimes for 12 lead EKG's. I've also shaved the faces of a few of my male patients. Shaving for cosmetic reasons (faces) is usually the nurses aides' job. Shaving for prep reasons for surgery is usually the aides job too... or back in the glory days, the hospitals actually employed a surgical orderly who would do the shave and transport the patient to the OR. Things have changed alot though. Alot of docs tell the patients to shave themselves prior to surgery now. Hub just had foot surgery and the hospital told him to take a marker and write "Yes" on the foot that was to be cut. How's that for avoiding liability ?? LOL !! shave themselves prior to surgery now. Hub just had foot surgery and > the hospital told him to take a marker and write "Yes" on the foot > that was to be cut. How's that for avoiding liability ?? LOL !! With a doc like that I think I would take the same marker and write just above my xiphoid process, "CPR HERE!!!".

LOL !! > With a doc like that I think I would take the same marker and write just > above my xiphoid process, "CPR HERE!!!". It wasn't the doc. It was the hospital. That's their policy. They claim they haven't had a incident where the wrong body part was operated on and they intend to keep that record. I thought hub was joking when he told me that they wanted him to do this but I questioned the nurse myself and she was very serious, didn't even smile when she handed him the marker. >>shave themselves prior to surgery now. Hub just had foot surgery and >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > questioned the nurse myself and she was very serious, didn't even > smile when she handed him the marker. OK....I will rephrase...with a hospital like that, I would would write "CPR HERE" just above my xiphoid process. If they asked about it, my response would be, "I am certain you have never done CPR in the wrong location and I want you to keep that record".

And for the cute nurse's benefit, I'd write "mouth-to-mouth here" just above my crotch. >>With a doc like that I think I would take the same marker and write just >>above my xiphoid process, "CPR HERE!!!". > > And for the cute nurse's benefit, I'd write "mouth-to-mouth here" just above > my crotch.

Now, now. You know better than that. In this day and age, that won't fly. You're gonna invite all the nurse's that way... not just the cute ones. You best be more specific. This might work : "Mouth to mouth here. Let this serve as a legal and binding contract and notice to those who see this. This invitation is free from the laws of discrimination. Only those nurses who are 21 yrs to 55 yrs need apply. Those nurses who are 4 ft to 6'3" are eligible. Most female nurses will be accepted if they fit the criteria. Male nurses might need to negiotiate further. No nurses with sharp, problematic dentures. No nurses with insanely, murderous husbands / wives. No nurses who prefer certain practices such as me taking on a necrophilia role-play, giving me enemas, or giving me the insertion of large devices into multiple orifices, or shaving my hairy butt with a staright razor while foregoing the use of shaving cream." You get the idea. Tailor it to your needs. You might need to write very small to fit it all in. >Things have changed alot though.

LTNS. Hope all is well with you. My thought on this is that craft paints would not cover the logo / fabric that was already there from Cressi. I don't know for sure though since I'm not familar with Cressi wetsuits. I was thinking that if the poster couldn't get Cressi to alter his wetsuit, and couldn't get another wetsuit manufacturer to do it, then he could perhaps hire a tailor to sew the image he wants over the Cressi logo. Do you think fabric paint would work ?? Would he have to apply it very thick ?? Calamari murmured while asleep: >> you could use fabric paint from the craft store.

Would he have to apply it very thick ?? give the folks at Dharma Trading a call, the web site is wwww.dharmatrading.com They are the foremost experts on fabric dye and paint. The staff is in incredibly helpful. and no request is too bizarre. You'd want opaque paints that will bond with synthetics... the Jacquard brands of "lumiere" and "neopaque" come to mind as they are formulated to work with nylons ( as compared to natural fibers): I have used them with success on Gore-Tex and other nylon fabrics, no reasone they would'nt work on neoprene, other than potential salt/UV damage. You can brush them on, screen them on, use them with stamps... Or, make a patch out of another piece of neoprene and glue that sucker over the one you want to cover, with Aqua seal. You can order small pieces of different color neoprene from www.owf.inc, by the inch.
