Fixing torn wetsuits with dental floss

Wetsuit repair

The wonderful thing about wetsuits, is wetsuits are wonderful things. Their tops are made of the rubber, there bottoms are made out of springs…

Sorry…channeling Winnie the Pooh’s friend Tigger. Slow down on the coffee buddy.

But wetsuits really are wonderful things. Whether your paddling a mountain river or surfing in the snow, a good suit can turn a borderline hypothermic situation into a reasonably comfortable outing.

Then they tear. Not so wonderful.

Turns out, though, all you need to fix them is neoprene cement, a needle and some dental floss. The impressively produced video below, by the folks at Korduroy.tv, walks through the process.
