lister1 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 At the weklekend on the marsh, as you've probably guessed, my waders leaked! Now I can't pinpoint an obvious hole. There is a tiny patch about 3mm squared that's worn through the outer fabric but doesnt seemed to have actually punctured the rubbery layer. Any advice on how to find and fix the leak? Cheers.

BellySlater Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Get yourself down to your local dive shop and ask for a tube of Black Witch - its what i have used on my Dry Suit in the past and works a treat ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister1 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I've got a patch kit. I've put a patch on where I think it may have leaked but its too cold to be messing about with water to see if they are fixed. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fal Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Stormsure or Aquasure will work, both great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'll have to get some. Got to make sure I can find the leak first! I've go a feeling they may be leaking through the stitching in the knee pad bits. How can seal the stitching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoggy Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thats the only downside to neoprene Waders. They rip,tear,and wear to much for my liking. Ok, they`re warm, but thats it. For your next pair get yourself some Nylo stretch ones, not as warm but far more durable. Wear some thick long johns underneath and cold shouldn`t be a problem.
