Does anyone try reattaching the stress discs in their wetsuits when they start looking like this, or just let them go?
Thanks,

A little Aquaseal (like a small tube of neoprene wader repair glue), and life is good. They do help,,,

You might try using an iron to tack them back down again. Not that big of a deal when they wear out, I figure they did their job.

Thanks, Bob. I kinda figured so, since they went to the trouble of attaching them, lol.

@johndiver999 , I wondered about that, just reactivating the existing glue a bit.

yeah put a piece of paper towel down so you don't get glue on the wife's good iron.

You can learn a lot from my mistakes. If only I could.that from experience?
Actually you can buy rolls of that stretchy adhesive tape for wetsuit seam repairs - or cut little circles. The after market stuff seems to last for a few years. Easier than sewing after a seam thread runs.

The orginal, name-brand stuff is Melco tape but there are probably many other manufacturers out there.
