| I was lucky enough last year to have some deranged ******** actually hole my suit for me! I think it was one of the most dirty things you could do to a person. The hole was through the rubber badge, so could have only been done by a sharp object and forcfully (also, I would have felt it as it went through 3 pieces of material).
Then a SECOND time, it was holed under my belly button area (again, I would have felt it).
Anyway, I fixed both holes and was diving the next day on both occassions.
Simple, Cotol wash around the area (the material turns white for a while, but no worries) and then Aquaseal is nice and straight.
I would say that with a tear you would need caution to make sure it is lined up well. So make sure the material is supported before you repair it, so it will stay in that same position.
you can clamp it down some how so the material is touching and then glue it while stationary.
Note: put a bit of paper on the other side, so if any glue goes through it dose not make a mess. |
