Yes, I know rookie mistake but it was pumping down south a couple weeks back! Put sunscreen on my neck and because the wetsuit has a rubber inner neck part, it melted and with the 12pm sun, left a pretty decent rash/ burn on me after.

Now I am trying to wash off the rubber but it remains sticky regardless of what soap I use. Anyone else have this problem and know how to clean up the rubber?

Cheers

Never had that problem but id suggest just soaking it in water as the sunscreen will eventually breakdown/dissolve?

My Last excel wetty started leaving a black mark from sunscreen melt(Banana Boat Sport). I'll be keeping it well away from my new one.

Why don't you try some of that wetsuit cleaner stuff and soak it in that. I know you can get stuff called piss off! I used to work in a surf shop and an old guy complained that it was offensive having that in the shop - ha! We all pissed ourselves laughing!

The only thing that will remove the sunscreen from your wettie
is the blood from a virgin black chicken, but this will only work on the 4th Friday of months starting with a "J".
Hope this helps.
