[Paddlewise] wet suit repair

Hi folks,

Last Sunday I took my new boat out for the first time.  Even for that 
short trip on a local channel I dressed up with wet suit and dry top.
At that occasion I discovered some minor damage on my wet suit.  
Looks like I got hooked up on something sharp.  It's not a hole all 
the way through, just some of the neoprene -not nylon covered in 
that spot- is pluged out reducing the 3mm drysuit to maybe 1 mm 
at that quartersize spot.  No big deal but a possible weak spot for 
future damage -full hole-.  Therefore I would like to patch that spot 
up.  
What is the best way to do this?  Is there a filler I can use to fill 
that little pit to level (Aquaseal?), or is it better to get a neoprene 
patch to glue on top? Anybody who has done such repair jobs with 
good advice?
I checked the paddlewise web page but couldn't find an entry there -
found a lot of other interesting stuff.

My new boat?  It is a stitch and glue kayak, modified from the 
Volkskayak I built last winter.  I reduced the beam from 25 to 22 
inches, and lowered the shear to get a lower profile.  Its a pretty 
snug fit!
I added a retractable skeg to improve tracking, but looking at the 
waterline of the boat this may not had been necessary, time will 
tell.  At least the mechanism works!  I found the skeg design on a 
web page by Ross Leidy (http://ross.secant.com/kayak/)and 
changed few things to fit my needs. 

Cheers

Ulli
