wetsuit repair?

My suit has many hook points and small tears I never really paid much attention to especially during fishing season but now I'd like to repair them since I still have sometime left. What do you use? Is Aquaseal any good?

Aquaseal, goop, silicone caulk all work fine. I don't worry too much about tiny holes.

Aquaseal is intended for repairing wetsuits and drysuits

I have also used liquid neoprene cement, from the local dive shop.

Did a search and they're pretty inexpensive. I'll try the aquaseal and liquid neoprene.
