What kind is it?

If it's almost new, bring it back to the dealer.

I have an almost new wetsuit and one knee patch is peeling off. Any suggestions on how to reattach it? Glue?

AQUASEAL! (Mcnetts)
 
Just a tip. This is something you might want to pick up at your LDS. They can give you tips on how to properly clean and prepaer the neoprene for best adhesion. I myself do buy a lot of stuff online but in this case, it might be worth the few extra dollars for some sound advice.

I'll call tomorrow. It's a 5 hour drive. I'm going next Sunday and was looking forward to using my new gear. Does this stuff need a long time to dry? maybe he can send it to me and tell me how to use it over the phone.

I think Aquaseal is dry enough for use after 24 hours. I think it continues to set up, though, for quite some time (like four or five days). Since the kneepad is a non-critical part, I think you'd be fine diving the suit after 24 hours' drying time.
