wader repair

[weemalky]

What an expensive week, lost my Oakley's and punctured my Bare waders. Anyone have experience with patching breathable waders?

they should have come with a wader repair kit, even the BPS generic brand waders come with that

use aquaseal. put tape over one side of the hole, then aquaseal the non tape side. when its dry, peel off the tape and aquaseal that side

What is aquaseal and where can I find it?

I have breathables from Canadian tire. I punctured them on a tree branch. I used the patch that came with it. I put a patch on inside and outside. I've been on three heavy bush whacking camping trips since and there still good

Had to go downtown to mountain equipment co-op, Le Baron's had it back ordered. Picked up 2 tubes and for my vest, a little mini tube which is U.V. activated apparently. Worked like a charm, $7 compared to a couple of hundred for new waders is money in my pocket.Thanks. :smile:/>

This works, I've done it on my neoprene waders. Instead of using tape on the inside of the hole I used wax paper, I used it on both sides actually to keep it from sticking to anything. Once it dried I just removed the wax paper.
