Gear Aid Aquaseal NEO Neoprene Contact Cement

Overview

Gear Aid Aquaseal NEO is a neoprene-based contact cement for repairing tears, split seams, gaskets, and worn areas on wetsuits and other flexible water-sports gear.

Repair application

Clean the damaged area and remove dirt, sand, moisture, and other residue. Apply a thin coat to both sides of the tear and allow it to become tacky for about five minutes. Apply a second thin coat, wait approximately 10 minutes, then press the edges together and maintain light pressure for 5 to 10 minutes while the bond sets. Application should be performed between 60°F and 80°F.

Repair behavior and use

Once cured, the adhesive forms an elastic repair that can bend and stretch with flexible equipment rather than creating a rigid joint. It can be used on wetsuits, booties, gloves, waders, spray skirts, and flexible gaskets. A thin coating can also be applied to high-wear areas where additional abrasion protection is needed.

Storage

Keep the container securely closed after use and store it in a cool, dry place.
