If you have large rips or tears or a tear that’s along a seam or stress point, you should stitch up the cut first using
1. Clean and dry the suit.
*You can put a plastic bag behind the tear to prevent the glue from sticking to the wrong part of the suit.
2. Using your brush or the one provided in the can of wetsuit cement, coat both sides of the newly sewn rip with neoprene cement to make it watertight.
3. Hold the two sides apart and allow the glue to dry for 24 hours. (Don’t stick together yet)
4. Apply a second coat of glue and let it dry for a few minutes.
5. Squeeze the two sides together and let it set for 24 hours before using.
*Be careful to line both side up as accurately as possible.
Small Cuts
Just clean the suit and glue like above without stitching the suit first.
The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises in Taiji, Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the world is not aware this is happening as the Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. The focus of the Social Action Campaign for The Cove is to create worldwide awareness of this annual practice as well as the dangers of eating seafood contaminated with mercury and to pressure those in power to put an end to the slaughter.
