Hey guys!! just noticed on Friday that the seams of my wetsuit are looking fairly dodgy and are starting to rip. I was just wondering if anyone has any wetsuit tape lying around that I could possibly borrow? Cheers!
Probably best to glue the seams with seal saver or black witch. Don't know if you can get tape by itself, either way you'll need glue.
cheers peter!
You do get tape with glue already on it... http://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/wetsuit-repair-tape.html
that's what i'm looking for jocano! ;D
Couldn't we get some for the club? Those wetsuits might need some repair anyway? Quippy?
Somehow read this as wetsuit rape.. had to check it out :L
I'll look into it Jocano.
Think some of those wetsuits have gone beyond repair for some reason....
Some, maybe not all, salvage what we can . .
Black witch is your man for fixing wetsuits!
I never knew this product existed. Is it strong enough to properly fix rips or is it just used to tape seams etc?
think its to reinforce the seams as far as i know... its already on my wetsuit in places since i bought it, and they havent budged so it seems fairly decent stuff!
I never knew you could buy this tape in small amounts. Would be handy for replacing the seams on stray decks too.
Not sure if it'll stand the tension of a spraydeck? But if you do it early enough it could probably be a good reinforcement..
Just realising, Peter... Are stray decks the ones you find in back alleys? Can they be tamed and used on domestic boats as well?
