Hi to all,
I have an older ( 8 years+) Henderson Gold Core Suit . It is in good shape except that the knee-pads have begun to peel off. The top 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch has separated from the leg/knee of the suit.The tops of the pads do come up over the knee (no kidding!), and are subject to all the usual bending/flexing that takes place there.
I'm thinking of using Aquaseal to re-secure the pads. Based on your experience:
Will the Aquaseal work?
Is there a better product?
Do you have any suggestions/hints/tricks as to how to get this job done??

Thanks in advance,
Mike
 
Bad idea, the aquaseal has a lower flexibility that beoprene and will cause the noprene to tear on the edge of the aquaseal.

Wetsuit glue is a much better choice.
