Lets hear your best tips for stopping leaks in both neoprene and breathable wading boots.
-
i have always used rubber cement on my leaks with breathables. never any patches or anything like that. just plain rubber cement, and have never had a problem. same goes for seam leaks aswell.
also after a couple years of wearing the same breathables and not taking care of them properly. you can take some spray on waterproofing and give the waders a couple good coats of the spray and let them sit for a couple days. they will be like new. *note* at least mine were like new :chuckle:

Thanks for the help. Nothin' worse than freezin' feet in the winter.

i have used goop and aquaseal, also simmseal...the best repair i have come up with so far is a new pair of waders.
:bash:
-
Best I have used is "shoe goo" and place a small piece of the neoprene fabric on the inside and outside of the hole, just don't be shy with the goo smooth out the edges then let it dry !!!
I have repaired a 2 inch "L" shaped gash this way and it still don't leak !!

Wader patch kit? ! :rolleyes:
-
Hot glue. The type for fixing fishing rods.
-
A new pair :chuckle: You can hang them outside and fill the inside w/ water, then just mark the moist spots w/marker or something. Let dry. then apply some repair glue. i like to use a fair amount because i like to put a patch on it aswell, some don't.
