I'm doing some patch up work myself. I ordered some seam tape and seam glue before Easter and it's arrived now. Didn't cost much and I don't really care since I did fork out not-$500 for a new e-bomb recently. Instructions seem straightforward enough for each method. Check ebay.

Sorry will PM details for a wetty repairer..

Look up JAM WETSUIT REPAIRS in greenwood hang on I will get the number for you from my trusty I thingy. 9448 6584

I know it maybe too late but prevention seems to be the best cure I have found.

Wetsuits - after each winter I soak it in fresh water for a few days and then dry in the shade and leave in the closet. Never had an issue the last 6 yrs that I have been employing this tactic. Same for spring suits. O'Neill Psychos seem to like this treatment. One lasted 4 yrs and next one is still going strong.

Board bag zips - have lost many board bags to the dreaded zip issue - A few yrs back someone on the Breeze mentioned that you need to make sure you leave the zip in a different place each day after use. Seems to have worked a treat. I use Creatures bags for the two boards I use the most and they are now 3 yrs old and still going strong. Long may they last !

I have had bags rezipped at Stuart Bell sails
They are in Karrakatta, near the Show Grounds

Yeah I would like to know myself seeing as I recall them located close to Trigg or surrounding suburbs so it would be a simple drive to go pick up rather than ordering online!

Squidie used to live in Karrinyup and if you knew him personally, you could grab stuff from his house but he has since moved down to Margies. His business is mainly online purchasing with no shop which keeps the cost right down, his products are also of good quality so a win for everyone.
Cheers
