Do you fix your waders, and how?
?ÿ
Came here first for the answer.?ÿ
Not waders, but the ATV seat, and muck boots = that nasty black windshield sealant.?ÿ Until it dries, it gets on EVERYTHING.?ÿ It drys and stays flexible, and lasts and lasts and lasts.?ÿ I have used it for wire waterproofing too.?ÿ I am not sure if you can get it at the parts store though, I get a used tube from my cousins auto shop.

Yea. Goretex?ÿwaders are easy to patch. The neoprene booties are another story. Neoprene rots, especially if not dried thoroughly and in a timely manner. If they're the cheap Chinese made rubber kind, toss and buy another pair and throw some more money away. The faux rubber they use cracks and is worthless for more than a season. You can try shoegoo for a temporary fix, but won't hold up.?ÿ
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
Try a product called Aquaseal, works great even on wetsuits.
ok, I've got a tube of aquaseal - will fix waders get back out there in the river for cross sections! thanks as always
I prefer not to fix waders, but rather assign them a realistic standard error and let Star*Net determine the most likely value for them.
I use the clear contractors trashbags, cut them to the length needed, wrap them around my legs several times, tie them off with pink flagging at the knees, upper thighs, and over my boots, haven't gotten wet yet., Can reuse them quite a few times. If the water is deeper than mid thigh level, I get a boat. It also helps that I have really long legs!
This time of year up here Warren, you may want to use snowshoes, skis, and crampons.
You can also cut up bicycle tire tubes, and make patches with them. Use Aquaseal, or tire patch adhesive.
What about doubling down and using your torn waders for picking blackberries?
