    Mate. Just had the same experience. I found the waders were that stuffed all the other seams leaked as well. Unless they're newer I'd bin them and start over.
    I bought some breathable ones off AliExpress. So far so good and cost about $140.
    My repair on the boots did work though, just the seams were gone as well. I used plane ol F2

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Don't you just use the stuff for repairing bike inner tube punctures?

    +1 for Aquaseal, what we use to repair holes/tears in wetsuits.

    Suck it up and just cut the waders off and turn them into gumboots. Buy a new set of waders (Cheap enough) because what ever you do they will still leak, especially at the worst possible time.

    Hi GA, i will give it one repair job, and take your advice if it doesn't work......if i bought all of above i could buy a new pair anyway....
