adi786 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi Guys, Last year bought these waders LINK , sadly last week they started to leak. Any idea on reasonable not too expensive waders? Last one only lasted 1 n half season Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Before getting a new pair try a Storm shore repair kit. It worked well on my old pair of neopeanes , though these days I use DIWA light weight chest waders I find Neoprenes just too hot to wear even in the coldest weather..

greenergp Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 The reviews of them are not very good , where are they leaking you might be able to fix them with stormsure, i used it to fix leaks in any waders i have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi786 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 they are leaked near knee, i think while out on marsh i did sat down on my knee's think the small rocks etc probably made them to leak... as before that they were all good... i tried to repair using some **** material came with it ... last outing they were leaking again just looking at this Stormsure repair kit u guys mentioned, its just a glue, doesn't comes with any patches, wont i need any patches of neoprene to put on top where its leaking?

greenergp Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Stormsure cures to a strong flexible patch, i had some mice that eat a hole in my waders the hole was about an inch long by half an inch wide. I fixed it by putting some masking tape as a backer on the inside of the waders and then just applied the storm sure as a puddle to cover the hole i gave it 3 layers, i am sure the repair will outlast the waders. I also know of some farming guys that have used stormsure the repair holes in chemical crop spraying tanks and it does the job. If you do get some make sure that when you have used the tube and there is some left in it store it in the freezer because it starts to cure when you break the seal on the tube, if you store it in the cupboard you will come back to a solid tube of rubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
