fixing neoprenes.
after trying many different types of repair kits which failed miserably I have found AQUASEAL at the garibaldi diving shop. they use it to fix diving suits.
it works great to fix any neoprene garment.
no more unexpected wet feet.

Re: fixing neoprenes.
My vote also goes to AquaSeal. I used it on my neoprenes when I tore them at the knee. I think AquaSeal made the material stronger after it had set up.

Re: fixing neoprenes.
Aquaseal is great, howver with the addition of Cotol aka Toulene it is much better. Use it to prep sureface, apply before seal, then use after, makes aqua seal into aqua weld!!!!

Re: fixing neoprenes.
Hey Ty, where can one find Cotol? Also, about how much does that AquaSeal go for?

Re: fixing neoprenes.
Right on Ty, Cotol also speeds up the setting time, you can get it packaged together with a tube of AQUASEAL.. usually less than $10, believe I've seen it at Fishermans Marine. GI Joe's. may/should also carry it...
