Konnie Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Don't know if this topic has been done. Now up to 3 pairs of neoprene chest waders hanging up all split boots (ron Thompson,snowbee,diawa) looked online came up with glues Bostik 2402 / stormprene / evode 8000 not sure if the tape around the top of the boot is neoprene but seen some 40mm sold by metre. may seem a bit of a task but am getting through a pair a season thought if I could make some up for non wading days may get a longer life from new ones, Anyone tried this?

anser2 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I used to find Stormsure very good for repairing neoprene waders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I have found the more you wear waders the longer they last within reason. I wear mine several times a week and they keep supple. Its when they hang or are left for some time the meterial becomes stiffened and then they become prone to splitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michufc Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I have stood in the duck pond today to find my right boot leeks they are natural rubber I take it this will work for them aswell as they were quite expensive and really comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michufc Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Well I had some sealant in the shed called tiger seal I used to use it in the motor trade and it sticks like **** to a blanket it's that good I sealed a hole in my sump in the l200 with it so I am hoping it works but I will let you no how I get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 seem to be on the wrong line with some of this. I am on about cutting the boot away leaving the neoprene sock and putting a whole new boot on the waders. The stormsure stuff is great for leaks I've used it on neoprene, not on about holes, but splits in the where it bends when walking thanks for all input.

kent Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Aquasure! Great stuff, keep it in the freezer once opened! You can if you wait just long enough spread it with a wetted finger to smooth the edges own etc. Waders don't last unless you rarely go, saltwater and such kills them. I don't wear chesties much now unless totally required preferring thigh boots and waterproof over trousers for sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tight and won't buy new waders unless I really have to,so far tiger bond worked best,well better than rubber glue,fixafix,superglue,mastic,silicone,aqua queen and so on.

I think you would be struggling to reattach a pair of boots to the neoprene without leaks with what ever you use . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redshrimp Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Blackwitch is the stuff Diverdave recommends for neoprene repairs. Are boots not stitched on to the legs and then the join covered with tape? I know Diverdave can replace stocking feet to waders but not sure about boots. Check out his website. What he doesn't know about repairs is not worth knowing. https://sites.google.com/site/wadersrepairs/ Edited November 17, 2014 by redshrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
