Hank Peters Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Just wondering if is worth while or possible to repair neoprene waders which have a loonie sized hole in them. The repair kit that came with them seem to refer to pinhole size leaks. I just don't want to waste my time. Thanks, Hank Also if someone could put Brians post on Dave's surgery back on top or snag it, so more people will see it. I really didn't want to post this question knowing it would bump Brians post Quote
Doug C Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Is is a tear? or is there actually a piece missing? If its just a tear then it can be repaired very easily with some aquaseal or your repair kit. If an entire chunk is completely missing it may not be fixable, but I would still give it a try. It will not take long to try patch it and you've got nothing to lose if it does'nt work. Just remember to go as thin as possible with the aquaseal, that way you can always apply more coats over top of it. Hope this helps. Quote
Terry H Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 If you haven't used Aquaseal before, be sure to keep the patched area horizontal while the Aquaseal sets up. Otherwise, it will flow downhill and form a big blob . It's great stuff. Terry Quote
Hank Peters Posted October 10, 2006 Author Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks guys I applied some clear tape to one side to give some backing and then put 3 or 4 coats on top, let dry, then reversed waders, removed tape and put 3 or 4 coats on the othe side, overlappind edges. Definitely, keep level. Seems to be a good repair. Will test soon I hope. Hank Quote
