yes I used a puncture repair kit for a hole in the foot and it was fine, just take the precautions suggested above.

We know the weather is bad when someone wears their drysuit in mid-July!! It isnt worth sending to anyone as that will cost you £20 whereas you can buy a puncture repair kit in poundland. Some of the poundland kits have patches that taper to thinner at the edges, these are less likely to lift I would have thought.

Why not just send it to Hammonds. They are the experts!

That's what I was going to try, maybe put a patch inside and out. Just wondered if anyone had dones this with any success (or otherwise). |

A bicycle puncture repair kit might work. The socks feel like they're made of butyl which is what bike inner tubes are made of.

You could try an Epoxy foam sandwich - works well on stopping boats from leaking

Hi,
At the weekend I found a hole in the heel of one of the feet of my drysuit. Has anyone got any tips on how to repair/patch a small hole? Cutting the foot off and replacing it seems a bit drastic, so I'd just like to patch the hole if that is possible. Thanks Paul |
