Best neoprene glue?

[sh0ck1999]

What's the best glue to repair a tear in neoprene? Have a tear getting bigger every dive at the corner of the face hole on my k01 8mm hood. Is aquaseal neo the stuff or is there something better to use ?

Don't use Aquaseal. It sticks very well but doesn't stretch. It is great for material that doesnt stretch - like trimalimiate - but not neoprene. The neoprene will tear away from the Aquaseal and you are back to square one.

What you need is neoprene cement (Trident and McNett both sell it). It will stick to the neoprene
and stretch.

Coat each edge with cement and allow to dry. Repeat. Coat each edge and allow to go tacky but not dry. Join edges together and press together (it is contact cement). Allow cement a few hours to fully cure.

I use ADOS MS clear. From the hardware store and way cheaper than anything from the dive shop.

Flexible and strong. Works great

In US it is sold as Aquasure Neo ....don't confuse the issue. Aquaseal is urethane based.
