There's another solution, the inventor of which may or may not want to
stand up in Techdiver and say "I thought of that first!!!", so I'll
describe it.  Buy a pack of disposable diapers and place a fresh one, bum
side outwards, just inside the leaky spot as you put the suit on.  They'll
absorb an incredible amount of water.  Use two or three end-to-end if
it's the zipper that's shot.

Interestingly enough, in light of Jon's comment, is the fact that it was
a TLS suit that was getting this treatment.  There are enough Techdivers
in those that I'm not identifying the owner if I name the brand.

I think that expression got invented because money and snot are both green.
