Wader Repair Glue

[schoolofhardNox]

I remember reading somewhere on the forum about a brand of glue used to repair waders, but I think it was mentioned in a post, but I can't recall where. I Googled diver repair glue and there were a lot of them 🙄 I think Joe - OBN had one he knew worked well, but not sure if it was him or not. Does anyone have a brand they can vouch for that worked well? Thanks.

Aquaseal is what almost everyone uses to repair wetsuit, waders, boots etc. they have a different formula for wetsuit/waders and shoe/boots, they sell a wader repair kit, just search for aquaseal wader repair kit.

Thanks. I'll give them a search. I have cheap waders for the beach and they either leak at the boots or tear at the knees. I don't use them much, but when I do, it would be nice to have dry feet to drive home in 😄

Aquaseal +FD is definitely the go - I use it to repair my fly fishing waders - works a treat.

The instructions that come with it say to put any remainder in a plastic bag and stick it in the freezer. I put the tube in a plastic bag in the fridge - have had that tube for over two years now and it still works fine.

add cotol-240 to the aquaseal order

helps speed up the dry time  n does not require much, few drops will have it dry in a few hours instead of 12 plus

Thanks. I'll put an order in for both. Thank you for all the help. With all the choices out there, I'm sure I would have bought something else that may not be what I needed.

This seems like what I need. Not really expensive at all. Do I need to get the patches as well or use some old wader material as patches, or just use the kit like it's sold.

I've used Aquaseal many, many times with no complaints.
