I’ve tried many ways to fix my fishing waders. This looks like it’s going to be my best fix yet. I did not emphasize in the video enough that you need to make sure you adequately clean the entire area that you will be applying flexseal to.

I've found the best fix to be plain old silicone sealant. Mine had gaping holes in the seams in the crotch. I put on multiple coats of flex seal and as soon as I got in the water the flex seal tore and leaked. I bought some loctite brand silicone sealant and filled in the area. When that cured I started putting on several layers of silicone on top of that. The silicone seems to bond to the rubber better then the flex seal.

Wow thanks so much. I wish the waders just lasted longer. There has to be a better material. Thanks for watching.

I got rubber boots from Five Below store for $5. I use a wool insert padding I got in Sweden. And I use Dollarama $4 100% wool socks. Wool absorbs massive amounts of moisture and is naturally antimicrobial so it never stinks. These $4 wool socks are one of my most prized possession because of when I wear these boots. I hate wearing sweat-soaked socks inside my boots! Hard to find 100% wool socks these days!

lol Yes I get it and I am frustrated too at the poor quality items that are hitting the shelves. Let me know if this worked for you. I bought another pair of waders as a backup.

How bad were the cracks. What was outside temp when applied. How cold was air and water when you used fixed item.

How has the flex seal held up since you've used them?

@northwoodsdiscovery6962 Жыл бұрын

Well it got me through another season it’s not perfect but since I know I’m gonna get wet and I’m only using them for 3 to 4 hours at a time. I just keep plugging away so much better than spending one to $200 every season on a new set.

@@northwoodsdiscovery6962 I hear you 100% man. I had bought a cheap pair of Dunlop boots and plan on doing what you did. We'll see how it goes! Thank you again brother!🙏👍

I opened my paste to see what it looked like then closed it back same way.. week later ready for project and it’s hard the whole can. It’s 28* so not sure if the cold hardened it but can I melt this stuff to soften it??

@northwoodsdiscovery6962 9 ай бұрын

I would not risk it. The heat will most likely change the quality.

Is there something that can be done to the waders to prevent cracking? Like when ppl use conditioners on their leather car seats?

@northwoodsdiscovery6962 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a great question I use and abuse these so much. I use for hunting fishing lure finding and walking in the woods in early wet spring. So much abuse.
