Member 6 |  Subject: Patching a Wetsuit??I just found a spring wetsuit for a great price at a resale store, but it has a tiny tear in the neoprene. The fabric underneath is still intact and none of the neoprene around the tear is missing, does anyone know of a good repair method?the entire tear is smaller than a shirt button and the actual hole is about the size of a pin head. is there a type of glue or sealant that is best for neoprene? |

I have a big tear (~2-2.5 inches) underneath the zipper in back. Goes all the way through the fabric underneath. I repaired that tear 3months ago and so far it's holding up really well considering I stress that joint every single time I zip up. Edited by cnsegura 2012-07-10 10:12 PM |

Also, what about storage? Should I just put it on a hanger in the closet? |

Also, what about storage? Should I just put it on a hanger in the closet? I keep mine folded on a shelf in the closet. It's better to hang it though, but make sure the hanger does have a wide, rounded shoulder and no sharp edges. A men's suit hanger works well Edited by audiojan 2012-07-11 8:35 AM |
