I have found that you need to rough up the area you are patching in order to get a nice bond with the gunk.

When I worked in fisheries and wore rubber boots, chest waders and dry suits on a daily basis we always used Aqua seal, the other stuff isn't worth goofy around with...it seems to stay flexible a lot longer than the other stuff. Works on rubber and neopene great. Clean it up and apply. I have fixed big rips in waders and dry suits by duct taping the rip together on the inside and gluing the outside. YMMV....

When done with it store it in the freezer and it'll hold over for a long time. Sack Punch Beaver Lure http://www.tlclures.co.nr/

If you buy the right aqua seal pack it will have a big sticker about 3 inches across for you to stick on the inside of the hole, then you just fill it up even with the neo with aqua seal. you could try duct tape, the aqua is very tough when it is dry. the backing material you use is just to hold things together until the liquid dries.
