    Neoprene- where to buy?

    Going to have a crack at making a scope cover. Anyone know where to buy it? 2-3mm would be ideal

    @Gibo

    Para rubber
    Search - Para Rubber

    Or any dive store.

    Or buy a cheap kids steamer wetsuit from the warehouse.

    Cheers

    There's a place in Glenfield called Seaquel Products, make awesome wetsuits. They have all sorts of wetsuit neoprene, inc all the camo shit cos the spearos love it. They do little jobs for waaaay too cheap too, give them a try.

    To scared to try it, I might like it. There is something appealing about rocking up to the latte shop in the morning with the moose knuckle hanging out to offend the fellow jaffas

    Neoprene- where to buy?

    Hey mate, give Wettie a call, located near Albany. Ask for Darren or his son Jackson. I get a bit of spearfishing gear there and they can sell you all sorts of neoprene material as make some of their wetsuits in house.
    You probably won't want the open cell stuff (this is the most likely to come in Camo as mentioned by @Tommy) as this has a very soft underside. I have to glue my spearing suits up very regularly. Closed cell has fabric both sides and will be most suitable for you
