## Overview

The GEAR AID Wetsuit Repair Kit features a 10”x6” black neoprene patch that permanently bonds with heat from a household iron. Designed for quick, durable repairs on wetsuits, waders, gloves, and other neoprene or stretch fabric gear, it reinforces high-wear areas like elbows and knees while resisting abrasions. This easy-to-use kit extends the life of your outdoor gear, saving you money and keeping you adventure-ready.

## Description

Extend the life of neoprene gear and fix it when it rips using Tenacious Tape Neoprene Patch. Simply just cut the 10”x6” patch to size and activate it using an iron to create a permanent repair for neoprene waders, wetsuits and more. Previously known as Iron Mend, this iron-on fabric patch kit can be used to reinforce seams and high-wear areas including elbows, knees and underarms. It’s also designed to repair other stretchy fabrics like spandex and Lycra. For ultra-stretch repair that lasts, use Tenacious Tape Neoprene Patch.

Review: Works well and easy to use - The girth of my thighs always causes the inseams near the crotch of my pants to wear out before any other wear begins to show. When this area of my neoprene workout pants started to wear thin and make it too embarrassing for me to do floor work when anyone else was around to see my pasty skin or underpants through the ever-widening thin spots, I finally got this patch kit and fixed my pants. It took a little creative maneuvering to get the most out of this patch and get sufficient coverage over the worn spots on account of the contours of the crotchular region I was needing to patch. Here's how I did it: 1. Assess the damage 2. Create a paper template that sufficiently covers the area to be patched 3. Cut pieces from patch material. I used 2 patches for the worn spots in the crotch on both sides (inside & outside) on both the front and back of the pants then used another little piece to cover a small rip on the waistband (not shown here) 4. I don't have a tailor's ham or a mini iron, so I used a piece of scrap fabric and glass-head pins over an old oven mitt to use my own hand to manipulate and hold the material while pressing small areas of the patch with the tip of my large iron 5. Position patch and use glass-head pins on seams to hold in place while ironing 6. Spot iron patch a little bit at a time, covering less contoured areas first then spot iron areas on either side of a pucker (being mindful not to iron a pucker or fold into the pants) 7. Carefully use scissors to snip the patch over the places where the pants are puckering (sorry for the blurry image - it was difficult to hold both the pants and scissors while taking a picture) 8. Spot iron both sides of the snip on either side of the pucker I did this in on both sides of the pants (inside and out) on the worn spots on both the front and back of the pants. It was probably overkill, but I had enough of the patch material for this amount of coverage and I didn't want to risk further wear on either side. The patches held up so well, they outlasted the whole rest of the pants. I would totally use this product in the future if/when I ever again have worn or torn neoprene to fix.
Review: glue works great for mending neoprene - The glue works great, though be careful because it's way thinner and runnier than you expect. Read the instructions and make sure to do both layers, but it was a secure adhesion in modifying my wetsuit. I had to shorten by several inches, cut a wedge to narrow the opening, and then glue the cuff back on. It's a noticeable mend, but no one will be looking that closely at my wrists and ankles. The patching was much harder to work with, it requires much higher heat than they recommend using, and still peels off some. I wanted the patches to cover where the glue was so it wouldn't rub against my skin, which it did ok once I managed to get it to stick onto the neoprene.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I tend to get holes around the chamois on my biking bibs, anyone ever use it around the chamois pad to patch a hole?**
A: Hello, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we have not used this product on anything other than scuba gear. As this product comes with a neoprene patch it would be my best guess that it works best on products that are the same material. However, the product states that it can be used on dry suits and fishing waders as well. Leading me to believe that this product is very heavy duty and might work for your needs. Please let us know how we may further assist you.Thank you,Gracehouseofscuba(858)581-2800

**Q: is the patch waterproof**
A: Yes.  I have patched several bike shorts with this stuff and it lasts through many washings.  I do not send my bike gear through the dryer so I can not comment on if it is heat proof--I bet that it is not heat proof.

**Q: Any thoughts on using this on stretch denim?  Regular iron on patches do not come in a stretch version.**
A: Hello,I used this to mend biking shorts ..but some extra pieces worked great on my cotton cargo shorts that had a rip in the crotch..so , i think it would work  on stretch denim..this patch isn't  a typical hobby fabric store patch ...really  good quality, made to hold up aftter washings ..hope that helps .

**Q: How large is the patch?**
A: Includes: 10"x6" Knee-Pad-Patch

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Few things to keep in mind!
*by A***R on December 27, 2022*

Works as advertised. But I have learned a few things that I think are important. 1- Use as small of a patch as possible. This patch is not as stretchy as thin neoprene and caused more tears on my suit around the patch 2- You must wash the area or it will not stick. I thought I could get by with a lil water wash and was wrong, (any wetsuit wash will do)
