Subject: patching a wetsuit question
I have the patch material to cover a small tear in my wetsuit but my question is:  do I have the stretch the material before applying the patch, or leave it? The instructions on the box aren't clear.

I just put a dollop of wetsuit adhesive on mine this morning for a small tear. I put the drop into the hole then stretched it very mildly to make sure the goop got into the corners of the tear. I cannot see where stretching it any more would make for a better repair.
