Best way to fix waders???

[FC]

Ultra-black silicone sealer.

Used a patch repair kit on mine last year, peeled it off and used shoe goop. Works awsome

what if it's on the boots?  that's what I'm dealing with now on my 5mm waders

with neos just squirt some shoe goo on the inside push outside down on it. let it kick then aply it to the outside just along tear. Let it dry. then put another layer over that that covers it on both sides, and kinda rub it in the the outside layer. It is ugly but wont leak'

breathables.... Aqua seal is the only way to go

aquaseal works great for all kinds of wader repair(including holes in the rubber boots).

i have heard good things about plasti-dip but never tried it.  supposedly it makes a great quick fix if you don't have the time to let aquaseal or shoe goo cure.

Totally agree with the above.  BUT!!!

If you are stressing the rip you might want to run some thread (Sew it) with 3 to 5 stiches but make sure you have glue between the neoprene then do as the folks have stated.  The stiches will help keep it together under stress

i had a dime sized hole in my boot last year and got a boat patch kit. i filled the hole as best i could with shoe goo then added the patch to the outside. let it dry and did the same for the inside. i coated both outside and inside edges with shoe goo as well (might have been over kill but i hate wet feet) only problem was it was baby blue but that didnt matter to me

good news...the shoe goo held like a charm, i filled the gap from the inside, spread it out and then put a piece of fabric saturated with goo on it and then smeared some on the front side in concentric circles and let it dry... went hunting on Saturday in the crazy wind and we got 4 limits of ducks, mostly divers but it held up great in the water thus far....thanx for the help guys
