Update: That cheap drysuit repair kit cost me a full dive day
I tried to patch a small leak myself with a $40 kit from a random online store. The glue failed at 60 feet during a harbor inspection job, and I had to surface early. What's a good brand for real repairs that won't let you down?

Honestly, you used a cheap kit on a harbor job? That's wild.

My cousin's boat lift motor lasted 47 days with a discount kit. The salt just eats the cheap seals and turns everything to rust. You end up paying triple to fix the mess you made. Never worth it on salt water.

Yeah, that's rough. Did the harbor salt water trash the cheap parts fast? I feel for you, @finley_bennett28, my buddy had a pump seize up on a similar job because he skimped.
