I was using the wrong mix for my hot water suit for years until a job in Seattle

We were working a long shift in Puget Sound and my suit kept cutting out. The lead diver, Mike, asked what my glycol ratio was and I said 50/50 like I always did. He pointed out that below 40 degrees, you need at least 60% glycol to keep it from gelling up. I had been fighting cold spots for no reason. Anyone else have a simple fix they missed for way too long?

Wait, does that ratio change with depth too?

Ever check if your suit's flow rate is set right for that mix?
