	Hi thanks for teh quick response - sounds like the ideal thing... that part of the suit is 'smooth' and flat' so should suit! (pun intended!). thanks

	most windusrfers / surfers get rips on their smooth skin wetsuits which are fixed with a glue - I did mine a few weeks ago using some stuff called "black witch neoprene adhesive" - but most of those nicks are/were probably no more than 1 inch long. As a dinghy suit (I assume) it might not be black nor smooth skin, so a repair using that glue could look ugly perhaps.. Edited by laser4000

	Hi ... sod it... I ripped my Gul Steamer when getting out of it. I have a 4-5 inch tear across the small of the back, about 2-3 inches below the zip. The neoprene is ripped that the inside cloth isn't - sort of holding the whole thing together. Any ideas on how to repair. - it a clean tear - should I use glue (what type) - should I sow together ? thanks fin.
