Oneill wetsuit repair

Hello all, have got a Oneill summer suit, 2003 model with the smooth skin and it has developed 2 splits. One on the shoulder ( i suspect from a nail where Ive pulled it on) and one on the ankle which Im not happy about as i looks like its just poor quality. I've contacted Oneill about it and had no reply. Any advise and how to perform a repair (DIY if possible)

Thanks for you help

Keith

Get yourself some Black Witch Neoprene glue and just stick it back together... Theres two types of glue... a contact adhesive for mending split seams, and a bridging adhesive for patching larger areas.... All my suits are held together with the stuff, and I've now started making patches by peeling iff the single lining from an old suit and using that as a patch which works really well.
