Wader Repair

[fruinincalgary]

Last week I dropped the seat of my truck seat onto the boot of my waders, the clasp that grabs the rail once the seat is in place went right through the bloody thing. (stupid!!! I was in a hurry) I don't have time to send em' off to Montana to be repaired, so.... I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction. Is there any body in town that will replace the boot of my wader in a weeks time?

 

Thanks

I have an extra pair of waders size XL you can borrow until they return if you want.

Thanks!!! I appreciate the offer. However a medium is big on me. I have an old pair of neoprene waders I am currently wearing but as a result of the hotter weather this week, they smell like my hockey equipment which hasnt been washed in 3 years. It may be cold enough in the mornings that they will be warranted anyways.

A liberal amount of aquaseal might buy you some fishing time on the waders. Call some fly shops and sporting good stores if you need some; it can be hard to find.

If the hole is small enough the Aquaseal should work. If they're Simms waders they should have come with a small tube of it if you bought them new.

I've done up to quarter sized patches with Aquaseal and a square of neoprene. Just find hole and apply a liberal amount of aquaseal to the spot. Put on the neoprene patch, let dry for 24 hours you should be good for a while

For a neoprene repair you can use aquaseal like previously mentioned or a rubber patch used for a bike tube then send it away during the off season... Also, I think MEC sells some stuff to repair neoprene in their boating section.
