Patching fusion

[bfowles]

I some how managed to get a small hole in the top of the foot (I suspect maybe one of my dogs got to it). I need to patch the suit for the weekend to finish my course. Will a bike tyre repair patch work on the fusion? I will order the Whites patch kit but I am not sure it will arrive in Australia in time.

Duct tape on the inside of the foot will work pretty well as a temporary patch.

check your local dive shop for adhesive patches. I found some that work really well on smooth materials that require no separate adhesive - just peel the back off, apply it and rub it a bit.

They are also very thing and flexible so it will not cause issues as a fairly thick tire patch might.

Failing that, Duct tape fixes everything - temporarily - and even if not perfect it will reduce the leak to just a damp spot until you get a proper patch.
