patching wetsuits
Does anyone have any good suggestions for what glue to use when patching wetsuits? I will be gluing neopreme scavenged from very old wetsuits onto old wetsuits.

i've used shoe glue to glue together small tears and seam welds. no clue on old wetsuit patch on to another wetsuit, maybe seam glue?

I've used the McNett Seal Cement to make things new. Works well for gluing edges together, not sure it would work for gluing edges to edges. Prolly available at REI and/or Sid's.

I've used Aquaseal and it works, especially thinned down a LOT with Cotol, but the patch ends up being non-stretch so it does not work REAL well.

I have moved away from the aqua-nett stuff and just get some clear RTV adhesive sealant at Auto Zone.. seems to have better adhesion, flexible and cheap :)
Tacoma Said - If Scott he asks you to go on a hike, ask careful questions like "Is it going to be on a trail?" "What are the chances it will kill me?" etc. Maybe "Will there be sack-biting ants along the way?"
