repairing Leaking waders

[Patricks on the White]

Dano:

Have had similiar good experience with Orvis. Sent in a pair of neoprenes I had worn for at least 10 years and they started leaking at the lowest seam. A few days later, UPS shows up with a box. I opened the box and theres a new pair of waders and a bill. I called ready to be upset only to find out that they had replaced the waders and had enclosed a bill for what I would owe if I were being charged. No charge. Have had excellent service with other major mail order companies; LL Bean, Cabelas, Bass Pro. Wouldn't think of not doing business with any of them.

So for those of us who do not have Orvis waders, I have found a small pin hole in the side of the rubber boot portion of my waders right where the sole meets the upper part of the boot. Any ideas on how to fix this? Everything I have seen is for fixing neoprene or the upper part of the waders not the rubber boot section.

Another way that i have patched booties or neoprene waders. Get a product called Aquaseal. Thurn your waders inside out and apply a healthy portion along the seams ( this is IF the seams are whats leaking) hang over night to dry. This has also worked for neoprene gloves. Stuff works IMO ..

but what do i know
