shoe goo or flex seal?

[vandeman17]

Looking to try and seal up a few small cracks in my wader boots. I usually have to buy a new pair of waders every couple years because we put them through the ringer but I would love to be able to salvage this pair until at least next year. Have read good and bad about both products. Any experience with you guys?

Aquaseal

Freesole is better than both of those.

Online at amazon or I have ordered mine from Kenetrek when I bought my boots.

Great info there

Great info there 

Take as you will.
Just quoted from the internet. No personally experience from me on the products.
I just spray my naked body down with flexseal a few hours before I go out and stay dry all day, that way I dont have to deal with leaking waders.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with never wet

I'm telling you NP-1 is the only way to go.

I got mine at Home Depot. The stuff remains flexible and never comes unstuck. I have even patched the soles on my hip boots.
Being a trapper it has been a constant battle to find somthing to keep the boots going for the season. Since I started using it (3 years) I haven't bought any new boots. Big holes, little holes, it fixes 'em.
I've tried all the shoo goos, aqua seals and you name it. Nothing compares to NP-1

Downside, it takes about three days to dry and it only comes in gun grade so best if you can save up some patching, otherwise a lot gets wasted when it dries out in the tube.

I was able to find the freesole today on my lunch break and am going to give that a whirl. It was only $6 so if it doesn't work I will try something else. Will keep all of you posted but the NP-1 has me intrigued. I have 2-3 pairs of waders that could use some patching so I am sure I could use up a lot of it fixing all of them.

Understand you already purchased a remedy, but...

I have used polyurethane construction adhesive/caulk, from Home Depot.... Worked great on my waders, used it to seal holes, and to also fix shoes.

Only problem with this route is the multi day curing period....
