Small Tear in Wetsuit. Fixable
Quote | Reply
I have a small little slit in my wetsuit and was wondering if it could be fixed. Or should I just be really careful and hope it does not get any bigger. It is about 1/4" long and on my upper thigh. Most likely a fingernail from someone helping me with putting it on this winter.

Suggestions. TIA

Should be fixable with wetsuit glue/neoprene cement from a scuba shop. The glue I'm familiar with goes: One coat each surface, dry 10-15 minutes. Second coat each surface, dry 10-15 minutes. carefully join surfaces (it's contact cement, so once the two surfaces touch-that's it.) and wait 24 hours. All fixed.

They can be glued. Just take it to a scuba shop. Divers get small nicks and tears all the time.

QR makes a wetsuit care kit that includes wetsuit glue/tape. If you can't find a scuba shop it'll work. It may also be cheaper. (Plus you get Wetsuit shampoo and some other goodies.)
