I need to glue a pocket onto a wetsuit. Seems like aquaseal is kinda sparce locally right now so I'm thinking would shoegoo work?
Has anyone tried it?

I wonder if Shoe Goo would be waterproof enough for the application, plus able to handle the weight of stuff in the pocket. Have you checked online for Aquaseal? No clue on price difference.
OP
It’s available on Amazon.

Works fine, even better than aquaseal for some applications. But it doesn’t come with the accelerant, so drying time is longer. Get the marine version.
How far are you from Portsmouth? I got an 8 oz container recently for the same reason. I still have 2 pockets to go but won’t need to put them on till mid to end of June. Be glad to share!

I find E6000 is pretty good substitute for Aquaseal and it dries much faster without accelerator. It's available cheaply at most hardware stores. I dont know how it compares to Shoe Goo though.
All of our plastic bubble compasses are glued to Kydex compass boards with marine goo. Still going strong after 3 years.
I also used it on a polyethylene neck ring with a whites Vinyl drysuit Liner when nothing else I tried would bond permanently.
I find that e6000 dries less flexible than marine goo.
