Hello:

My wet suit knee pads had just come off. I asked on my local scuba shop and
they told me to use Aqua Seal.

Is that really the alternative? are there any other glues available on the
market? my wet suit is a 3mm/2mm, will it work on it?

I'm kind off new into this and want to make the right decision.

Thanks

Samuel

Yes, Aquaseal works really well.

Plain ole neoprene cement, or seal cement will work too...

Sometimes, Aquaseal is easier to work with if you cut it with Cotol 240...

Good Luck...

I would recommend Aqua seal...

Aquaseal :)

A lot of this stuff in my skin-in wetsuit!

Black majic is a neoprene cement that will work pretty well also, usually used on seams and not in my opinion as durable as aquaseal.

I agree to cut the aqua-seal first with some extra cotol-240 and make it easier to spread, then put a couple layers on each piece (extend it out past the area covered by the pad to get a god bond on the edge) then carefully stick them together..
