My daughter noticed 2 small holes in my neoprene sprayskirt yesterday. What
is the best thing to keep the holes from getting any larger?  Should I patch
the neoprene and the cloth facing on both sides separately?

Thanks in advance,

Woody

If they are less than an eighth of an inch in diameter, drip a little Aquaseal
into the holes.  If larger, cut a scrap of neoprene to fit snugly and drip the
Aquaseal around the joint.

Frequently, yak shops have 3 x 3 samples of neoprene they'll let you have for
free.
