cooky Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 go back to the shop and ask for another patch or ask if they can get you 1 from the supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aister Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 do you repair both sides or just the outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Dive shop or the bay for a bit of neoprene and "Aquasure" from dive shop. Edited February 26, 2011 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerettaSV10 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Dive shop or the bay for a bit of neoprene and "Aquasure" from dive shop. Thinking the same, if it good enough for diving suits should be ok for waders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbler Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) If you want to get a full service then this guy gets good recommendations: www.wader-repair.co.uk At £45 it's probably only worth it if you use them a lot and want to get a few more years out of them. Nothing worse than cold water around your nuts :look: Neoprene patch and Aquasure should do for a repair.

Send me a photo aister and i will recommend the best way to repair them, and will recommend the best glue, patch material or whatever. we manage to fix anything from mouse attack holes, barbed wire battles and normal wear problems, 20+ years of fixing dive suits makes waders easy. We have never had a seam or patch we have repaired leak, and this is in many waders!!!lThe £45 service is for all and every leak fixed, and all seams sealed and repaired. The most to date is well over 150 pin holes and these waders are still in use today. Cheers diverdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 just had a look at diverdaves website and i think i will be sending down my waders asap because just before i ripped them on barbed wire i realised the seam was leaking just a tiny bit around the crotch as well, thanks for your help everyone i was thinking i was going to have to lash out for new waders after only having these for 5 months.
