Any luck during this storm?

Mine just sprung a leak also when I was at the lower yuba. Tried to fix it with gorilla glue to no avail. I guess there's this stuff called aqua seal that will fix leaks on waders.

I hear that stuff works great! But at 25 bucks a tube, I might look for a cheaper alternative!

Get aquaseal from Kienes.... it is not 25 bucks a tube. I recently bought a tube and a bottle of curing accelerator for less than 15 bucks out the door.... Less is more, that little tube you get should fix many many holes. I like to use the little plastic boxes you buy flies in to mix the stuff up then brush it on.

If you have gortex waders and don't know the isopropyl alcohol trick check out:

SEAM GRIP made by GEAR AID
IMHO is better than Aqua-Seal
Cheap, Easy to use, store and reuse, a very small amount repairs a leak (from the inside) and renders your waders good as new!

My toes are happy in my SEAM-GRIPPED Redington Sonic Pro waders...

It worked perfectly well on the fabric of my breathable waders...

Here is a link with a how-to video:

I am not sure how it performs on neoprene but others say it works fine.

No I am not a rep nor does my rich uncle own the company, hahahaha

Well it looks like lots of leaks are springing lately. Felt the seeping of cold water into
my toes two weeks ago on the Klamath. Tried to repair streamside with Loon wader repair (UV activated).
Unfortunately, the sun barely made an appearance so it didn't "take."

Remembered at lunch today so tried again with Loon's product. Sealed them in and out, so hopefully
it holds. If not, I'll go to Aquaseal or the Seam Grip above.

Btw, this is only the second leak in my Redington Sonic Pro waders. Bought at Kiene's
4+ years ago. IMHO, best damn waders ever for the quality and price!!!!
