Note to self, wetsuit goes on top in bin.

Post by SSpiffyDiver »

So, anyone have some 6.5 or 7 mm wetsuit material? I need a piece about 2X3 inches.

Luckily, it's in a non-critical location (back of leg on farmer John top near bottom).

Another helpful tip is to roll your suit instead of hang or fold. Rolling minimizes creases and stretching.

Did u put ur weights on top of your suit by accident?

For how long? The crushed-ness will rebound over time

If only it was crushed. Evidently, the buckle had weight on it and the vibration on the way home ate a hole in the neoprene.

Yeah, my own damn fault.

Are you sure you need additional material? It it's a tear not a hole I'd glue it up with seal cement and be done.
