I have a Viking Sport, 10 years old and a little over 1600 dives on it. In
some areas the fabric is so thin you can shine a flashlight through it in a
dark room. In these areas even Viking couldn't get patches to stick so I use
aquaseal
on the inside and it works great.  I'll have a new suit come spring but this
one is still good enough as a back up.  A word of caution though. Using
aquaseal on the outside will eventually peel off and it makes it almost
impossible for the proper glue and fabric to stick later.
