I use shoe-goo and tire patches, works great. Layer of shoe-goo, put on tire patch, then another layer of shoe-goo over tire patch.

Always wondered how good those neoprene waders would hold up.I use LaCrosse trapper hip boots that are tough as iron,but still manage to get leaks,although not many.I'm pretty rough on boots and getting in and out of a truck would add to the wear on neopene ,I'd think.

Aquaseal is very good. ShoeGoo will work. MTP sells a neoprene repair that works well also.

Ive had really good luck with the flex seal spray that you see on tv. It can be bought at Walmart now just spray the holes a few times and you should be good to go

way to revive an old post jewing! as an update: i have used the aqua seal with mixed results. It seems to have worked very well on my gauntlets that have the rough coating on the hand part. However on the pair that have the all smooth neoprene the aqua seal worked about 3-4 hours and then pealed loose.
