Wader repair

Postby Hayes » Sat Jan 13, 2007 1:39 pm

I am sure there are several topics on this subject but anyway. My waders are leaking in the seam at the croch. I found the small holes and now need to know the best way to stop it.

I used to have to get shoe goo from a shoe store, but wal-mart carries everything nowadays, so I would definately give it a shot. good luck fixing them, there is nothing worse than a cold wet crotch.

shoe goo will stop it but it needs to have plenty of time to cure out

I can state from experience Aquaseal will get the job done. If you can find the package with the accelrator in it it will get it done in a couple of hours. I patched a hole about 1/4" across. I was down in LA over xmas holiday and poked a hole two inches above the boot in my waders. Made a trip over to Simmons and got'em fixed up later that night.
