Sewing neoprene & wetsuit repairs

[lanwu]

Does anyone know of any place in Bangkok that can sew neoprene to neoprene as well as wetsuit repairs? I am wanting to attach a neoprene pocket to a neoprene suit.

The stitching needs to not completely go through the bottom layer of neoprene suit so as to not create any holes through the suit which allows water to flow into the suit from the outside.

all ican say is maybe go to a LDS and ask in there. i have used the dive supply shop near victory monument (easy to get to on sky train), they are very friendly and well informed. He will point u in the right direction if he cant help u. maybe an option.

I'll ask at my LDS tomorrow morning. I bought a wetsuit for my daughter, and had ankle zippers put in. They'll have an address for that kind of work.

To the OP: I wouldn't be overly concerned with the stitching going all the way thru. I assume you are using a wetsuit in thailand, the amount of water going thru the stitching holes will be negligible compared to the water that gets thru the zipper. Additionally, pockets factory installed on DUI drysuits are stitched all tha way thru the suit and then the seam is waterproofed using aquaseal.

No luck - person who usually deals with that wasn't around. I'll try to find out by phone on Monday.

I can't say anything about these guys, because I don't know them. The site seems to be pretty new (domain registered July 2007), but the company apparently is not - on another site it's claimed that Dave's Divers' Den is the oldest sport and commercial diving company in Thailand.
