Patch a Wetsuit

Step 6Affix the Patch

Affix the Patch
Press it down hard.
Make sure all the glue molecules on both surfaces get really intimate with each other.

You're done.
Enjoy your non-perforated wetsuit.

If the patch is in a really hardworking area like the wrist, ankle, or crotch, you can sew the fabric edge of the patch to the fabric edge of the hole. Don't poke all the way through the wetsuit.
Just sew the surface cloth together.
Any kind of stitch is fine: baseball, frankenstein, whipstitch are all good methods.
