There are two things in life that are unavoidable.

1) paying taxes

2) leaky waders

I use shoe goo.

Aquaseal.  Put it on one side of the hole and let it dry and then do the other side.

I get a new pair of waders every year and I still go through a tube of Aqua Seal as well.  Black Berry bushes and beaver sticks are great.

cut out a patch of old jeans, coat in front and back in shoe goop put it on the hole then put another layer over it to seal down the edges. i have 11 holes in my waders patched that way and they all hold

Quit whimpering about the waders and show us some pictures.   :drool:

Never mind didn't see your other thread with the pictures.

As stated above Aqua Seal.  It was designed for use on neoprene.  I like the idea of denim patches as well.

I blew out my waders yesterday and took them back to Cabela's and got hosed on it. I didn't have my receipt since I was out of town and got them in June. I paid $240 for them and because I didn't have the receipt, Cabelas would only give me the lowest sale price of the waders over the last year. I got $129.88 back!  :o They did not have them in stock or any others that were in my size so I was out of luck. Oh well, I guess I am going to have to get a new set.   :'(
