Scott:

My suit came with a flap of neoprene over the inside of the inflator for just
that purpose.  The flap is glued from the top and looks roughly like this:

    --------  <---- glued here only along top, rest hangs free
    +      +
    +      +
    +      +
      +  +

This arrangement works fine on my suit which is 6 or 6.5mm standard neoprene.

Mike
