So the story so far: to make full use of my R.I.B I wear a drysuit. Great bit of kit but the weak spot is the built in socks which are made out of very thin rubber. Got a split in one a few weeks ago so decided yesterday, after getting freezing cold wet foot, that I'd glue a patch on it.<br />Got Bostik 2402 two pack adhesive: brilliant stuff: bonds great and is ideal for this sort of fix.<br />Mixed up the two pack, smeared both the sock and the patch with glue then waited twenty minutes then, as per the instructions, placed the patch over the split. Now I needed to apply pressure to the joint for a while but just at that moment her indoors decided that it was urgent that we went shopping 
<br />Frantically looked around the garage and found a plank of 4x1 which I placed over the patch and a full bag of cement to place over the plank allowing me to apply great pressure to the patch without being there <br /><br />Came back four hours later........... <br /><br />Anybody know how to remove a three feet long plank of wood from a drysuit boot which has been stuck on with the best glue in the world <br /><br />shouldn't complain really, I now have a built in waterski
