Well my acorns got wet this morning! My second pair of Macks waders it 2.5 years. This pair is just right over the year warranty. Its a very small leak, I figure I can seal them up. Is there anything better than aqua seal? That stuff gets so hard and wont flex.

Man that stinks. Aqua Seal is the best thing I know of. I got tangled up in some loose barbed wire this morning while walking out, but got lucky and didn't tear a hole in mine.....I think. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

BEST patch is new waders and this time dont let warranty run out! :head: if ya know what i mean... second best ive found is aqua seal or goop and if you still have another old pair of waders laying round cut you a piece to make a patch to put over hole as well and make darn sure the spot is dry inside and out!

If you have a dive shop near by they can probably patch if for you pretty cheap. Most of them do it frequently with wet suits.

E6000 works good too.

Got a buddy that patches his with windshield sealant works great.

Cheap rainpants inside waders keeps me dry a lot of mornings - since Christmas this year. tyring to stretch 3 years out of my waders - which would be a record.

Use shoe goo.

I was thinking that very same thing!!!!!!!

 

[shiftymcfive01]

I put a bunch of shoe goo inside the crotch but didn't give it time to dry evidently before I hunted in em next day. liked to never got outta them and ruined a good pair of wranglers

 

[Bruin]

Take it from someone who has had to work in waders. (And hated it!)
Buy new ones. If you move around much the crotch will leak no matter what you do.

Get the extra heavy duty work kind by Lacrosse. They are heavy and expensive, but will last for years.

 

[Bruin]

After posting the above, I went to Lacrosse's site and it looks like the don't make the heavy duty work waders anymore.
Im sure someone still makes waders for working, not hunting. The last ones I had were solid black. But I didn't care, cause I stood in water when I hunted and the ducks couldn't see them anyway.

I've always heard penicillin works well....
