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

I had a good-sized tear on the leg seam of my wetsuit, & wanted to stop it before it got any bigger. I watched a couple of YouTube videos to get a sense of the proper way to use neoprene glue, grabbed some dental floss and dove in (so to speak)! It was tough to sew the dental floss into the seam, as the sides were pretty frayed; but once I got the seam mostly closed, I hit it with a couple of layers of this glue on both sides, and that really closed everything up nicely! The glue takes about 10 minutes or more to get tacky, at which point it can be manipulated, and before that it is kind of messy to handle, so use a popsicle stick or something similar for spreading. The glue really soaks into the neoprene, and once it dries it is very elastic and stretches with the neoprene…awesome! I haven’t tried to glue/patch a hole with this yet, that will be the next challenge…but this is definitely the glue to use if you need to do a wetsuit/neoprene suit repair. 2 thumbs up! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Used this to fix the cracks and missing chunks in the taped seals (rubber type of tape applied to the wetsuit during manufacturing which covers the traditional stitched and glued seams) on my 12year old O’Neill Psycho2 wetsuit. Didn’t feel like dropping another $300-450 for a similar current model when this ones neoprene is still fine.Worked great! It dries quick and really closely resembles the original rubber tape material. Doesn’t end up sticky or brittle. Bought the 4oz and pretty much used the whole bottle by double coating all of the taped seams inside the suit, and then a light touch up on the outside taped seams at high flex points where the rubber tape was cracking.Can’t attest to how the product fires out after its first use but I can see how that would be true.Like other reviews stated: This stuff dries up and coagulates fast so have your sh*t together and your workspace ready.I laid my (fully dried) suit out flat and did one side of the suit at a time. Let fully cure. Applied a second coat. Let cure again. Flipped and repeated. The brush that comes inside the cap is sort of trash. Might want to grab a cheap one so you make less of a mess and the end result looks cleaner.I’m stoked to get at least another season or two out of this old suit before I gotta spring for a new one. ....and to think I was ready to toss it and bite the bullet.Anyway...Really glad I pulled the trigger and gave this product a shot.*Probably going to grab a small tube to keep in the truck in the JIC bag full of other usefull sh*t like ding repair, fin screws, glock23, spare mags, LunaBars, KYjelly, and whatnot.Thanks Gear Aid!

This stuff worked good I put on probably 8 to 10 coats over a rubber boot that was cracked on my tractor that was leaking oil. I did clean all the rubber boot up with carburetor cleaner and a rag. I also use some rubber tape that I cut into 1/4" and 1/2" strips and then used a complete wrap around the boot and covered that with this liquid rubber.

This could be a taken complaint OR a complement - this stuff really sticks. But because it sticks so well, it's actually a bit hard to use. As soon as to gets near the wetsuit, it seems to get ON the wetsuit ... like magnet to steel ... moth to flame.But it works and works great. The only issue the above problem creates is a repair that isn't necessarily "nice." but it does stay repaired and sealed, and in the end, that's what I wanted. Dries fast. Great for keeping wetsuits going longer.

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.

I recently used Aquaseal NEO Contact Cement to repair a cut on my 5mm wetsuit, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. This product did an excellent job! It was easy to apply and a little goes a long way with this cement. I found that applying it in multiple thin layers helped prevent any oozing, especially in the more visible areas of the wetsuit.
