    Iron Mend™ Repairs

    Iron Mend™ Iron-On Fabric Repair Patch provides strong, flexible, long lasting repairs for neoprene. Use Iron Mend to reinforce and repair high stress areas on your suit, including knees, elbows, under arm and around the zipper.

    Step 1:

    Wash with Wet Suit & Dry Suit Shampoo and dry neoprene article.

    Step 2:

    Pre-heat iron to acrylic, low or delicate setting. For irregular surfaces, including sleeves and legs, insert a piece of wood to create a firm, flat ironing surface.

    Step 3:

    Cut Iron Mend to overlap damaged area by 3/4”. Always round the corners of your patch as patches with curved edges are less likely to peel back later. Place Iron Mend over damaged area with the urethane coated side down and cover with full sheet of heat shielding paper.

    Step 4:

    With preheated iron, press Iron Mend down with firm, even pressure for 10 seconds. Lift and rotate iron; apply for another 10 seconds.

    Knives are essential tools for every diver. Use your knife to cut away from entanglements, to examine under rocks, and to bang on your tank to get your buddy’s attention. Mount knife on your B.C. vest or leg for easy access.

    Keep the Bugs Out!

    When it’s breezy, mosquitoes will congregate on the lee side of objects to avoid being blown away. So pitch your tent door into the breeze. You’ll be able to enter without bringing the swarm in with you.
