How about taped seams? Do you repair those, too?

Taped seams shouldnt be a problem. Give me some more details, such as does it need to be sewn, then taped, age and brand of wetsuit, etc.
we'll be happy to take a look at it.
Thanks

Hey I have a Quicksilver Fuse wetsuit and the seam has come apart. It is not sewn its like glued and then taped. Wettie is in good shape so I hate to buy another if I can repair this one at a resonable cost.

As to blindstitch, you could hand sew, but time consuming and tedious. If its a long opening, you could get it stitched, glue sealed, even taped, it will be watertight.
As to seam taped, you can either re glue old tape, or we can glue new neoprene tape.
Small glued seam repairs, no problem, but cheaper to do it yourself.
Hope that helps folks.
Brrrrr.....
Happy new freezing year....

Do you need it replaced, sometimes they're fixable. What brand, chest or back, full or shorty

Hey, spin;

Thanks for the great job. So happy the repair result was nice and smooth so the boys weren’t rubbed the wrong way!

Thanks brudda. Quality work and attention to detail are what we strive for.
Apparently we're about the only folks in the southeast region doing what we do. Otherwise its a mailorder to the west coast somewhere....
dive shops: here we come!
