How do I Repair Waders with Aquaseal?

Angler using waders

It is a fact of life. You are standing in a stream in your waders on and all of sudden you feel some cold water seeping in. This could be the end of your fishing trip if you are not able to fix the hole. If the hole is small, it is possible to fix it with Aquaseal. Every person who enters a stream with waders should carry a tube.

Things You'll Need

• Waders
• Aquaseal

Instructions

1. Locate the leak. Sometimes you will have to turn the waders inside out and look for the source of the water.

2. Allow the waders to dry. The Aquaseal will not stick to a wet surface.

3. Open the tube of Aquaseal. Apply a small amount of the fluid to the hole. Spread it around into a 1-inch diameter around the hole.

4. Allow the fluid to dry for 24 hours before using the waders.
