Can anyone recommend a good cement for wetsuit repair? I searched but all the recommendations I've found are unavailable. Anyone recently buy cement and had good luck with it? FWIW, this on a Roka Maverick X wetsuit.
Thanks

I repaired my armpits once and had good results... iron on patch on the inside and cement on the outside... let me go look for my cement.

Yes I can third the black witch cement - ie. Neoprene contact cement, but you don't need that huge container, this tube does the job. I have had the same tube for about 7 years now and repair my wetsuits about once a year. If you are just patching a fingernail it will do the job. If it goes all the way thru the jersey then you also need to stich that up with some upholstery thread. Oh and it says fast acting, but still let it glue overnight at the very least. I usually let it dry a couple of days before I move it or use it.

My old Orca 3.8 is about 40% Black Witch now I think. In fact, that stuff is so good that I've thought about forgoing a wetsuit altogether and just buying a few boxes of Black Witch, and coating myself before the swim.

I got some very torn up wetsuits myself. Really can't sell them. Explaining there has been 20 tears but all patched up doesn't do much for the resale value I find.
