Title: Need neoprene wader repair, ideas?
Post by: lokidog on March 04, 2015, 06:46:18 PM: So, I have a relatively new (4 years) pair of Hodgman waders that have a bad zipper, opened from the bottom and won't move anymore. These are in really good shape other than this so I'd prefer not to have to buy a new pair. It seems this is a good time to try to get them fixed for next year as my wading is done until next fall.

Does anyone know of anyone that does neoprene repair work? I've checked with a local (Anacortes) dive shop and they don't do it. I haven't called around, but figured I'd check here first.

Thanks.
