Hello,

Just messing around with a bit of scrap material, I find that cyanoacrylate
(aka Krazy) glue doesn't work worth a damn on nylon web, but >seems< to
work like krazy (sorry, couldn't resist) on neoprene. Does anyone have any
experience on how such a glue join would hold up under immersion, repeated
use, salt water etc?

If it works well, it would have a few advantages over standard neoprene
cement; lower toxicity of fumes I do my neoprene cement gluing outdoors
or in a fume hood), non-flammability, quicker repair times, neater-looking
repairs.

Sorry, this isn't particularly technical, but most of us gotta glue what a
diver's gotta glue....
