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

Good product,would recommend.

The first thing I did was Read the Label and LOOK-UP the product warnings (MSDS) on line (They MUST publish this info and you should read it carefully.)[Toluene] will cause nerve damage and has nasty vapors that you shouldn't inhale.The vapor is also heavier than air so it sinks to form a highly-flammable & EXPLOSIVE layer (no fire, SMOKING, or SPARKS in this area!)Getting the liquid adhesive on your skin, (especially in your eyes or mouth is dangerous.)Wear Safety Glasses!That said, you should work where there's plenty of ventilation, like outside. This is contact cement so you apply it to both surfaces then wait 8 to10 minutes for it to evaporate before pressing the parts together. It would be safest to have an air supply & mask that covers your whole face and protects your eyes. Or, if you're careful, work quickly with the brush, and come back later to assemble.This is good cement but you need to be cautious when you use it.Even storing this little can presents a problem. I put it inside a larger container with a tight-fitting lid to prevent fumes from escaping, then keep it in a cool, protected area.

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! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

It’s a bit runny and hard to control coming out of the tube. Otherwise, it’s fine.

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!

Aqua cell is the best for fixing holes and neoprene waiters. I will not use anything else.

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.

The product is standard neoprene contact cement and works fine for wetsuit repair, at least for the first usage. After storage you are supposed to shake the tube vigorously before use. Shaking the tube doesn't work well and if you handle the tube roughly at all it will rupture and you wind up with neoprene cement leaking on your hands and working surface. This is the second time I've used this product and the same thing has happened each time. Good for one use, not so good to use again after storage.
