Suggestions for fixing the zipper on my wetsuit
Hello there,
The part of the zipper in my wetsuit that connects both sides of the zipper teeth (sorry about the bad description; don't have a camera here handy) has detached one side of the teeth. The local shop suggests that I take it to a shoe/tailor shop that can unstitch the entire zipper portion and re-set the "closer".
Has this happened to anyone before, and would this be a good fix (i.e., will there be leaks afterwards)? Or am I hosed and need to buy a new wet suit? Thanks.
