advice on wader repair
#4
[cool][#0000ff]Are you talking neoprene or breathables. From the description it sounds like you might have some Hodgman breathables. If so, the material they use does not hold up well and often begins leaking within a few trips. First it is isolated pinhole leaks in the fabric and then large areas act like a sieve. Almost impossible to goop on enough stuff to seal them all up. Better to buy new and buy better.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If the waders are good enough to be worth saving then the Aquaseal is the best way to go.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Oh yeah, no need to get in the tub with your waders. Take them out on the lawn and carefully run water into one leg...avoiding getting any water on the outside. Shut off the water and look on the outside for water escaping from the inside. Have a marker to circle any leaks you find. Next run the water from one boot into the other side and repeat the leak search. If you find more than one or two holes you might wanna consider "upgrading".[/#0000ff]
