Is it possible to renew/repair the rubber on the knees of a wetsuit?
You can add extra rubber to your wetsuit yourself with the Poly glutène liquid varnish or Aquaglutene soft Varnish for neoprene that CanyonZone sells for it. This is liquid rubber that you can apply yourself to the places you want to protect/reinforce.
Polyglutene is:
- an extremely elastic and resistant coating for repairing or reinforcing neoprene.
- the perfect protection for wear zones and seams of suits (knees, elbows, buttocks).
Application: Make sure you mix well. Do this until a homogeneous, even color is created. You can then apply the liquid rubber with a brush or roller. For the best result, apply 2 layers with 10 minutes drying time in between.

Always repair wetsuit damage immediately, if you postpone your wetsuit repair it can get worse, which makes it more difficult to repair the suit.
