wetsuit glue might work, not sure really though

I used wetsuit glue before and it worked great, I don't know if it would fix fraying though

Black Witch wetsuit glue can fix up most things, only a few pounds for a tube so worth giving it a go...

I use Picasso wetsuit glue. Its black and very easy to apply. ive used it a couple of times about 10mins before going out for a wave and eventhough you are supposed to wait 24 hrs it still held together.
My booties are more glue now than wetsuit, it good stuff.

Just seen this topic, I caught the top of my leg about 4" from my meat & 2 veg on the fin yesterday riped straight threw my wety and put a nice slice in my leg, could have been worse!

How should I repair it? do i just use the above glue and stick it back together or do you patch and glue,

I've seen Ripcurl repaire kits for about £12 but think this would proberly be over priced / not the best option

Any advise on how to fix the rip and buy what i need would be much appreciated

I've always used any old neoprene glue and dental floss (the latter for stitching).

My repairs are neat enough if you don't mind the white stitching
