I've been buying a lot of vintage boardshorts for cheap on ebay and Poshmark as I hate short boardshorts became a thing. Been having good luck until today, I bought a pair of mirages and they have the seams glued instead of stitched. These were in like new condition but came out 8 years ago and think because they were so old the glue disintegrated when I had a surf this afternoon and the seams pulled a part in the crotch a couple inches. What glue can I use to reseal I'm guessing this happens in wetsuits. Really like this pair.

just sew it back shut, and expect new seams to open up in the future

wetsuits arent gonna hold up as well with home dental floss sewing
