DIR pockets

Edit from tap a talk - the tailor guy said he 'couldn't' stitch or glue it, not 'could'.

Any links to the neoprene cement glue? Happy to do it myself as long as I have the correct materials.

Seal Cement? Contact Cement for Neoprene

Cheers Henrik,

Is this black witch? This I can get hold of pretty sharpish.

P.s. apologies for thread hijack, this wasn't my intention.

I used the black version. Stands out less where I messed up and "painted outside the lines"

You've read about the whole stretch and mark the suit before glueing and such ... right ...?

Yeah yeah, yeah, course I read the details.... I swear I won't be back here asking why the hell every time I back fin my pocket falls off (mainly cos I can't back fin - yet!)

So is it 'Black Witch'? as in this link? DirDirect :: Equipment Care :: Black Witch or some other goo?

I'm not familiar with "Black Witch", but based on the description in your link, it sounds like it's the same or very similar. The Seal Cement is essentially a contact cement if that helps you.

I have had much better experience having pockets sewn onto wetsuits. First, it does not create a large stiff area on the suit. Second, you can move the pockets to another suit of some sort in the future. Wetwear, in Hallandale, Fl does a great job of installing a sub-layer of fabric/neoprene in order to reduce the strain on the wetsuit itself.
