Glue for nylon

[Komov]

My friend has a problem with Orca "Breath" wetsuite. Some of the nylon ribbons inside came unstuck after few months of use. Any idea what kind of glue to use with these nylon ribbons to stick them back?

I think Picasso sell a glue called something like Black something, which seems quite popular:

e.g.
Suit Extra - Picasso Glue Neoprene Black
Picasso GLUE NEOPRENE BLACK. Suits Rash guards, Scubastore.com, buy, offers, dive

There are also inexpensive adhesives that are made of/include neoprene - whether these are actually the same thing or any good for gluing neoprene, I couldn't say.

Here is the answer from Orca.com:

Hi Sergey,

These tabs are only precautionary so you don't really need to glue them back on .....
The nylon ribbons are applied using heat not glue as of such. Glue would not really adhere properly to the inner lining of the suit. If you can get to a dive shop they could most likely help you out on getting them stuck back down, should be a relatively simple process.

Ive found that the glue the scubadivers use on their drysuits to glue cuffs and hoods,works a treat on neoprene and rubber
