...can be patched in neoprene waders? Caught a sharp beaver chewed stump this morning on the bank. Felt the tug, but didn't realize until I stepped knee deep in the water. Filled my boot to my knee. About a 3" tear in the rubber boot below the neoprene. Wife thinks a patch with shoe goo should work? Trying to find new waders is ridiculous, no good charts for sizes. They seem to think a size 14 boot should come with a 40" waist and 50" chest.

I have patched larger holes/tears.

Some good videos on YouTube on how to do it, the biggest I have done is a 7 inch or so rip, still have those waders to they have a couple more patches now though

Personally I prefer aquaseal or that rubber cement you get in tire patch kits but shoe goo will work but IMHO not as well

I believe I used E6000 as the adhesive.

i wear breathables and neoprene waders the best thing that i have found to use is a product called aquaseal i find it sold at sporting goods stores in small tubes
then found a scuba diving store that sells it in larger tubes

Thanks guys.
