I have a leak in my chest waders. The uppers are neoprene and boots are rubber of some kind. I believe they are leaking at the seam between the 2 materials. I bought a can of Flex Seal and going to give it a try.
Has anyone tried this stuff for the purpose? I certainly don't have a couple hundred dollars to put out for a new pair at this time.

I have never used Flex Seal but have used Aqua Seal with excellent results. Once opened keep it in the freezer or the whole tube will stiffen up in time. Kind of spendy but worth it in my opinion.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Shoe goo is my go to boot wader fix it stuff. Works real well in multiple thin coats on a roughed up surface, each coat a little larger area. 3 coats total. Got a pair of swampers that cracked behind toes from flexing, 2 year repair so far.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

3m 5200 FC. It is one of those products where I end up saying “ you had me at 3m”. The FC is for fast cure.
