Easy D.I.Y Wetsuit Repairstttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
The simplest repair you can do yourself is a hole that is small enough that you don’t need any additional neoprene to cover it up, and is no more than a few centimeters long. In this case you can just glue the neoprene back together. Anything bigger, or if the stitches are torn and coming apart, take it into us! Quite often we can repair your wetsuit within a day. mmmmmmmmmmmm
If you decide to repair your wetsuit yourself, here is what you may need:

Meths (for sterilizing)
Neoprene cement/glue
Something heavy to weight the repaired area
Clothes pegs to hold the glued area together

Tubes of liquid neoprene such as Neo-Rez are perfect for repairing rips, holes, gashes, unraveling thread and sealed seams. Neo-Rez is a fast curing, clear synthetic that dries in about 20 minutes and can be put to use in about two hours.

Firstly, make sure your wetsuit is clean! Click here for tips for properly washing your wetsuit.. tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Sealing seams:

Make sure the wetsuit is dry
Clean the area thoroughly with meths or alcohol and wait until it evaporates
Use a brush or your finger to apply the neoprene glue on the wetsuit surfaces that need to be sealed back together.
Let stand for 5 minutes, making sure you keep them apart.
Repeat the process and leave for 10 minutes.
Firmly press the surfaces together and apply even pressure, use something heavy like a book or a clamp/peg if you can
vFilling small wetsuit holes:mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If the hole is smaller than 1cm you can get away with filling it with neoprene cement. For holes larger than this…

Cut a piece of cotton t-shirt material to the size of the hole
Put a small piece of wax or baking paper behind the hole, on a flat surface
Put the piece of cotton inside the hole and fill it with the neoprene glue or cement

Allow at least two hours before use.
