GEAR AID Aquaseal NEO Neoprene Contact Cement for Wetsuit, Wader, and Watersports Gear Repair – Fast-Drying, Waterproof, Flexible Adhesive

I used this to repair some of the inevitable cuts on the inside of my 5mm open faced interior free diving wetsuit and boots. Suit has fabric facing on the outside only and the bare neoprene interior is extremely vulnerable to nicks (mostly fingernails), especially when stretched out during donning/doffing.In the past I had used a 'shoe goo' type product with success, but the formula changed and the last tube of shoe goo that I used left peeling scabs around the repairs that also turned from clear to brown with age (yuk!). Also, that shoe goo wasn't very flexible when dry.This gear aid brand cement makes great quality repairs easy. Follow the manufacturers instructions and apply a base coat (5min cure) followed by a top coat (10 min cure). Holding the defects open for curing and laying down a consistent layer are the only challenges.The small tube goes a long way because you should be laying down thin layers.Even an amateur like me managed to make some almost invisible repairs to the largest rips.Again, please note that I did not use this to repair any fabric covered surfaces.If any of these repairs fail, I'll post an update.100% recommended for open cell neoprene use!!!

this stuff works as advertised and Ive used it several times with no issues

My 7 mil. wet suit neoprene ripped at the hood level. I used this glue to fix it. It's easy to use, just follow the 5 min. and 10 min. Instruction and it works. The neoprene ripped again but not where it was glued, next to it. So the glue hold very well. I re-glued the new rip but this time I double it with a thermo glued patch and so far it's holding. This tube will be handy as I am pretty sure more rips are coming!

Works well on knee cream, knee braces a little gooey, but really how strong

I can't believe how well this stuff works. I have a TYR Class 1 Hurricane wetsuit for swimming and have really struggled with tearing getting it on it is extremely fragile. I'm used to wet suits for skiing and this thing is not at all the same. Anyways I have gotten three finger width tears and have experimented a little to find the best process. Here are my tips 1. Have the bottle upright when you open it and be ready for some air bubbles it wasn't bad with my tube but the stuff is pretty thin, have something ready to sit the tube on that you can throw away 2. Fold the suit over at the tear and use a chip clip to keep it folded this will keep the tear as open as possible so you can get good coverage with the glue 3. Use a toothpick to spread dont mess around with a q tip, you need to get all the way down into the base of the tear. Put a small drop inside the tear with the tube then pull the tube away being careful not to get strings or drops on the suit and spread the drop around the tear with the toothpick making sure you get good coverage and dont get any on the skin of the suit, it wont do anything here but look messy. You dont need alot just enough to coat the tear 5. Wait the 5 minutes then repeat another application and wait 10 minutes. 6. Remove the chip clip flatten it out and give it a good press. 7. There is no need to seal the repair or anything like that its just going to look messy and it isnt doing a thing if you follow these steps you will have a strong repair that you will struggle to find.

Used this with thread to fix my wet suit. So far it has held up with both. It was a seam and the seam is still intact.

The first thing I did was Read the Label and LOOK-UP the product warnings (MSDS) on line (They MUST publish this info and you should read it carefully.)[Toluene] will cause nerve damage and has nasty vapors that you shouldn't inhale.The vapor is also heavier than air so it sinks to form a highly-flammable & EXPLOSIVE layer (no fire, SMOKING, or SPARKS in this area!)Getting the liquid adhesive on your skin, (especially in your eyes or mouth is dangerous.)Wear Safety Glasses!That said, you should work where there's plenty of ventilation, like outside. This is contact cement so you apply it to both surfaces then wait 8 to10 minutes for it to evaporate before pressing the parts together. It would be safest to have an air supply & mask that covers your whole face and protects your eyes. Or, if you're careful, work quickly with the brush, and come back later to assemble.This is good cement but you need to be cautious when you use it.Even storing this little can presents a problem. I put it inside a larger container with a tight-fitting lid to prevent fumes from escaping, then keep it in a cool, protected area.

The product is standard neoprene contact cement and works fine for wetsuit repair, at least for the first usage. After storage you are supposed to shake the tube vigorously before use. Shaking the tube doesn't work well and if you handle the tube roughly at all it will rupture and you wind up with neoprene cement leaking on your hands and working surface. This is the second time I've used this product and the same thing has happened each time. Good for one use, not so good to use again after storage.
