    I have an old Gul suit that has small areas of worn neoprene in the kneecap areas. I'm afraid it will lead to a tear in the suit and wondered what the best method would be to patch/reinforce the worn areas?

    I'd be interested to hear opinions on this stuff. I have 2 wetsuits with worn out knees that need repairing.

    It's a very tin patch, if got it to fix a suit that I ended up stitching with dental floss and blackwitch as I need the suit, but for simple tears... it's be the dogs

    Thanks for the info folks. I ended up skipping on the iron mend as it was v. thin. I got some pieces of neoprene out of a shop and basically patched them to the interior of the suit at the kneecap area. I used dental floss and black witch.
