Vinyl wetsuits anyone?

With my experimentation at uni to find different ways to decorate a wetsuit I turned to the amazing Vinyl machine at uni. I was told that this would never work because you have to heat press the vinyl onto the neoprene and of course the neoprene expands under heat. However I was pleasantly surprised that my triangle pattern worked really well and doesn't come off. (although I'm sure it will come of pretty quick in salt water and with the general wear and tear a wetsuit goes through but that's something i still need to experiment with.)
The Vinyl! Removing the bits i don't want on the print.
The print on the neoprene. looks pretty good to me!
