fastpoke Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 What is the best way to find holes in your waders? I have a pair of breathables which don't seem to leak when i'm wading in the Bow. When I get out to a lake on the float tube, one of my socks ends up getting soaked. I have a tube that keeps me sitting out of the water. I'm looking for some ideas on the best way to find pin holes. TIA, Fastpoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA, Fastpoke Fill the leg or sock with air,roll up your waiters from the top so you get enough pressure down to the sock and stick it under water.

ÜberFly Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 If it's the neo foot, then turn inside out and fill with water. Use caution if the leak is higher up as the weight of the water could blow a seam... If it's on the breathable material (goretex?!) then turn inside out and spray on some rubbing alcohol and look for the dark spots, mark with a felt pen...

headscan Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 http://www.simmsfishing.com/site/repairs_main_new.html Can't remember if the isopropyl thing is specific to Gore-Tex or to Simms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnm Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 turn your waders inside out and run a flashlight all over the place. X marks the spot, great for finding all the littlle pin holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
