The O'Neill Wetsuit Cement comes in a four ounce can, with a brush in the cap. This stuff is the real deal - a thick goopy black substance that's designed to fix tears and holes in neoprene. Since it is black, it will blend in with your wetsuit! Sets up very quickly. Works well on smoothskin coatings. - Make sure you keep a window open.- Shake well before using. - Apply cement on both edges of damaged area with applicator brush. - Allow first coat to dry for 5 minutes.- Apply second coat and allow to dry for 10 minutes.- Press together firmly for long lasting repairs.

Worked great on slice in smooth chest/back area of wetsuit
Had a couple of small slices in the chest and back of my winter suit which is smooth in those areas. followed directions of applying to each edge, the suit then naturally pushed those together. Waited 5 mins then put a coat over the top and after another 10 mins appears to be good as new and flexible. I also tried to use on the a couple of the round tabs that are glued on the inside of my suit where seems are joined. Most of them seemed to take ok but not as good as the outside and I don't think this is what it was made for. One recommendation I have is to open with plumbers plyers trying not to damage the top so that you can reseal. Also, don't use the applicator that is attached to the lid. That will make a mess and spread the glue all over the rim and outer threads. Instead, buy some cheap paint brushes and dip in. Try to keep the lid and out lip clean so that you can close it and reopen it for future use.

Tried and True
This is the only wetsuit repair glue I've used for over 40 years. It's quick and easy to use; lasts forever. It's tried and true..... accept no substitute.

Pretty useless. Waste of money unless it's for your booties.
I was a 30 year customer of O'Neill wetsuits and I used them throughout the seasons, year in and year out. I always have a couple rashies and boardshorts, a short sleeve 2 mm full, a couple of 3/2s for the winter and a 4 mm for trips north or the coldest days. Usually a hood or two and always at least one pair of booties. Even when I tried another brand (rarely), most of my wetsuit "quiver" was O'Neill. Over the years, though, the quality just got worse and worse and the prices more and more. I kept using them because they had an exceptional return and repair policy, but after COVID, they discontinued it. Tried twice with nearly new wetsuits that had failed in bi-daily use. I hoped they would at least provide a decent wetsuit repair product, but this stuff is awful. Put it inside your wetsuit and you will be bleeding from wetsuit rash. Use it on the outside and it will crack on the first use. Looks to me like the O'Neill brand will soon follow its legendary founder, Jack, into the grave. What a shame. I'll never buy another O'Neill product if I can possibly avoid it. There are some really solid up and coming wetsuit brands built by guys who used to work at the big brands but got fed up with producing a crappy product for too much money to support marketing overhead.

Great solution to a torn seam
This sure best spending $300 plus on a new O’Neil. Looks like I will be able to squeeze another 2 seasons out of my wetsuit. The only issue was I got it in the summer and during shipping about 25% came out in the packaging. Luckily it was in a sealed bag. That said, the 6 small repairs did not require much adhesive. Follow the instructions and you will like the results ( only requires a little on both sides of the tear).

Works good
I have a Xterra wetsuit for triathlon and it tears easy. This stuff works good to repair tears. Use a paperclip to apply - not the brush.

This stuff works!
This stuff is amazing. I had a fairly large hole on one of the seams of my wetsuit. I applied two coats of this stuff and the hole was sealed! I've had no issues with the hole reopening with all the stretching and movement. Just like the warning on the can, this stuff has a strong odor, so apply it in a well ventilated area.

Can glued shut
There’s no way the can delivered can be opened. It was glued shut. Using a screw driver, we managed to see where it was leaking, but couldn’t get the lid off or get it to leak enough to use. Waste of money and effort.
