for that very reason i would avoid using it on a wetsuit at all, even on a nylon-covered side.
applied to any type of wetsuit fabric, including nylon-covered, it won't allow stretch/movement and will likely cause damage to the fabric directly surrounding the patched area in the long run. especially bad in any area that undergoes stretching/movement.
a few years ago, i tried patching a big tear in the neck of a wetsuit hood i used for surfing with aquaseal repair and adhesive sealant. once dry, the patch held but ripped the fabric alongside the patch. unfortunately for my hood, back then i had not yet heard of using neoprene glue for repairs.
