Wader repair

[sbuff]

Well I found out the hard way my insulated neoprene waders have a leak . Assuming dry rot on the boot ,has any one tried flex seal or am I buying new ones .

What do you have to lose by slathering something on and trying?

Just buy new ones. You can patch but they will leak again the rubber is dry rot. Nothing worse than a leaky wader in cold water.

I have the worst luck with waders. I just buy a cheap pair now. The more expensive ones I might get an extra year out of them , but I don't use them enough that it's worth it. I've wondered if that gorilla tape might work? It works well on most anything

I have used aquaseal in the past with very good results. It’s about $7.00.

I have a can of flex seal I'll try before I order new ones.  Standing in the salmon river last week didn't end well .

They were 200 bucks probably 5 years ago .

Try "Goop". I have repaired waders with it and had decent luck with it.
