Teck71 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 So I hit the Little Red Deer River on Saturday, had a great day but for the fact that I popped a hole in the Arse of my new Bare Neoprenes, now I need suggestions on the best way to patch the hole? Any suggestions would be welcome. Teck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 duct-tape one side, aquaseal other, let it seal. Take duct tape off, aquaseal that side, let it set..you're good..for a while anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teck71 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 New duct tape had to be used somewhere. as I always say "Can't Duct it F@$K it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 i have a nice hole in my neoprene boots of my waders, and dont have any aquaseal, and i just duct-taped it on the outside, and i've stayed completely dry for the last 3 times i've used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfreak Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I got tired of sealing my crappy waders, as I've used 3 tubes and they're still leaking. I duct taped both sides, and guess what, dry feet! Well at least for a few days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j5ep00 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 you say they are new, could you possibly return them for a manuafacture warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Get some of that wader repair tape the fishin shops sell, tape one side, fill the tear on da other side with aquaseal, slap some more tape over that, slather some more aquaseal along the edges of the tape on both side and let'er set up. Ohlaa.....no more wet nuts...looks like hell though but who gives a damn. 400+ days in a pair of Wardell breathables and savin my pennies for some G4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayDoh Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I used contact cement and a tire patch, works like a charm. I tried duct tape the same day I found the leak, but the tape came off which made me feel guilty cause its one more piece of garbage now. I used the cement from the same kit the patch came with. You can get them (tire/tube repair kit) at Canadian tire or probably walmart for less then $10. No need to use a large patch either, just let it cure overnight and take a felt pen if the patch isnt the same color if you care enough. My waders are PVC, but if their rubber of any kind it should still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
