Is this it?

OK I should've said corridas de samas/mutton snapper runs. Those mutton snappers are bigger and fatter than what you see on the reef at all other times

Core, another thing you can try is using a dremel tool with a grinding stone bit to reduce the hardened aAquaseal. That has also worked for me.

All you guys are pussy whipped hahahaaha

pargo, my user name is a couple of years old,. When I came to the US I had only heard pargo in Cuba so I wanted to keep that feeling. About "de corrida" I'll let you guess. Do you get corridas de pargo in PR?

I was just going to suggest that, it's what I've done. Use the thinnest neoprene you can find.

OK it's been a while since that discussion with Marco so I can't remember. In cuba pargo is a mutton snapper, so what is pargo to you?

Possible name for the gun: sama stalker or something along those lines, maybe in Spanish.

What's your favorite fish core?

Thanks Marco.

Most everyone is here including Pantoja and Davie.

haha I knew you couldn't stay away from the sea and we are part of your addiction. I was about to call you some time soon to see what's up and where you've been.

Marco the equipment guru oye! Are there any open cell wetsuit manufacturers that we can put the PR seal on?

and..

Aquaman!

Dude, I own a sewing box and a sewing machine. I sew many things. I'd love to own a heavy duty sewing machine that can handle nylon web and leather.

Your daughter, what a cutie.

Good job man! I love giving items a second life, for some reason it feels even better than buying something new. Probably because I didn't have to fork out the $$$

OK I'm going to tell you my experience with repairing neoprene material. Just don't be changing the name to Core's ..... and wetsuit repair thread <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

Neoprene glues that are on the market through dive gear suppliers are crap. They look like contact cement and they don't work. The slightest pull and the seams separate. I use Aquaseal when the suit material is nylon outer, it works really well nylon against nylon, and the nylon is glued on pretty well to the neoprene. The one thing I tried that worked well was crazy glue. It really fuses the edges of the neoprene together. But it turns the neoprene directly around the seam hard. Instead of stitching maybe you can use Aquaseal and two strips of 2" wide neoprene to sandwich the tear from the inside and outside. That's provided no part of your suit is open cell.

I heard somewhere that Europe has stronger neoprene cement but due to some chemical regulations they don't allow it in the US. Could be BS. Otherwise how do they make wetsuits here, I believe there are various manufacturers in the US, some large scale and some custom.

Repairing neoprene seems like such a simple thing to do, I should've gotten around to learning how to do it properly. I'll bet it's all in the glue. In many wetsuits the seam holds without the stitiching. The stitching may just be for the nylon joints to look neat. The stitching doesn't go all the way through the neoprene. I'll bet it weakens it more than anything. How do you think the open cell wetsuits hold together. They have no nylon and no stitching.

Hey Core, didn't you say you gained weight, maybe when you were trying to put it on... :bouncinboobs:

and then stayed just out of range when I was ready... i hate that mack >:]

Hehehe

I can't stand watching those guys shoot fish on scuba at point blank but the first part of that vid was moving. I feel so sorry for that young man.

So you don't have to go on SB..

Naw, once you start diving the weight comes off.

Are you talking about you or the fish?
