    Bare SGS wetsuit - loose seams

    I have a Bare 7mm SGS wetsuit (the one with the smooth silver surface inside). I'm using it now for about 3 years and I'm very pleased with it.


    However, a few seams start to come loose, especially near the taped-areas (under the back zipper and near the shoulders).

    Has anyone experience with this problem with this suit?
    Is it enough to just put neoprene-glue in the seams and hold them together for a while?
    Should I put some extra 'tape' on it (like the one already on a few seams)?

    Or should I better send it back for repair?

    Neoprene cement and aquaseal is what holds together most of my old wetsiuts. I use the cement for seams that came unglued and aquaseal for filling voids.
    Good luck.
