My son has a 1.25" tear in the butt of his waders that I was going to attempt to patch for him. I have a unopened tube of ShoeGoo at the house, would this work to secure a patch or should I go by a new tube of Aqua Seal?

You don't really say what kind of waders you have. I think the Shoe goo and the Aquaseal might be the same thing but I am not sure. I have only used aquaseal before and that was with a patch kit for breathable waders.

The waders are a Cabela's brand breathable, and I do have a piece of waterproof patch material to patch with. For a permanent repair I was going to put a patch on both inside and out. I'm wondering if ShoeGoo will permanently hold the patch material in place or if I need a different adhesive product.
ShoeGoo will work.....HOWEVER...it will dry very hard.
Aquaseal is better for the job. It stays more flexible than ShoeGoo

Somebody needs to try FlexSeal, that sprayable "liquid rubber" stuff they sell on morning TV on ESPN and CNBC. I'm dying to know if that will work.
Unless you just want to experiment with ShoeGoo or one of the other products mentioned here, just use Aquaseal and be sure the repair will hold.Originally Posted by Mato Kuwapi
