Hi All
Fished Budleigh yesterday to no avail, good viz in places 4-6m but no fish showing. stayed close in as the sea was getting up. managed to put a 4" gash in the top of my wetsuit leg when the butt of my Seatec slipped off my buckle whilst loading . Any ideas on how best to fix an Elios? L shaped tear - glue or patch or both?

Tribs - what I have done in the past for tears in my Elios is first glue the two tear edges using black witch (following instructions) and if the material is not smooth skin but has nylon I also put stitches through the material spanning the tear like you would for any material tear fixes.
Worked fine for me. Didn't use a patch at all but judging from the strength of the gun pads on elios suits that could be a good option.
