Refurbishing a Neoprene Dry suit - any advice or success?

[ampdiver]

I have a pretty well used Appolo crushed neoprene dry suit that is showing its' age.

I'm looking for advice, products or how-to's on what to do to bring back the black... it's starting to fade badly.

Also need some patching advice.

Any advice on these?

Thanks.

Have you thought about tie-dye?



Sorry, couldn't resist. I honestly have nothing to add, but that was the first thought that popped into my twisty little brain

Try posting on the Apollo forum, one of there reps is very active here and is DIY friendly(something you don't see often in sales reps).

Good point. I'll try the manufacturers forum. Just a generic question regarding all neoprene though.
Thanks.

Ha! I have seen a diver getting out with a neon yellow suit and it kinda freaked me out...
