My hydroskin farmerjane has a small hole in the seat. Fortunately, I still have the patches that came with it, but what is the best way to patch up the hole? Should I sew on a small patch, glue on a patch, or just sew up the hole?
If glue, then what’s the best kind? Would Gorilla Glue work?
Cheers!

I would glue it using Aquaseal. Gorilla
glue breaks down over time when exposed to salt water.
Aquaseal
Personally I’d go with Aquaseal.
Thanks a bunch!
Aquaseal it is.
Cheers!

Side note
That little square of neoprene wasn’t included as a patch, little known fact. Its real reason for coming with the wetsuit is so that the zipper doesn’t damage anything in shipping. It’s the sacrificial piece that also works well as a patch.
If the hole is only a cut, I would speedy stitch across the hole and then aquaseal it shut. Skip the patch part unless the hole is actually a chunk of material missing.
and if
yer gonna patch it , make the patch a circle or round the edges . It’ll stay on longer .
