- Seam Damage: Over time, seams may loosen or split. Repair kits typically include tools to reinforce or re-bond these areas.
- Abrasion Patches: High-friction areas can develop wear; applying patches can reinforce these zones.
Using a DIY Wetsuit Repair Kit
- Clean and Dry: Ensure the damaged area is clean and completely dry before starting the repair.
- Apply Neoprene Cement: For tears, apply a thin layer of neoprene cement to both sides of the tear, let it become tacky, then press together.
- Seal and Cure: Hold the repaired area firmly or clamp it, allowing the adhesive to cure as per the kit's instructions, typically 12-24 hours.
- Reinforce if Necessary: For larger areas, apply a neoprene patch over the repair for added strength.
