    Yeah, I find that "fold the patch" instruction NEVER works! I just coat it carefully out of the water, then drag it down and put it on, and roll it. But I always put on the larger patch next.

    If the water's at all cold, I'll wear an old pair of wetsuit gloves to keep most of the glue off my fingers. BTW, acetone should clean that glue right off your hands.
