wetsuit fixin'

[Chebby]

Hi,

my wetsuit stretched and became kinda loose around the neck, so water now enters freely in and out. Kinda sucks in cold water temperature. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I was thinking about using a stapler, but thought maybe a more elegant solution exists

Try to find a dive shop that works on neoprene. The shop I teach for (dudas diving duds in pa) routinely alters wetsuits. Its a pretty simple process but you need the sewing maching and glues to do it right. It is fairly inexpensive also. I would think that your lds would have a source for such repairs. (we get alot sent from other shops, just make sure they know how to measure or mark the suit correctly) Good Luck
