Next time I need such, I'l try it. I've not found Shoe Goo to be
inflexible, but I lay it on in thin layers, so ??? IAC, if Seam Grip is
quicker, I'd be all for that.



As a great fan of "Goop" aka ShoeGoo for many uses, I must say it isn't good
for wader repair ( breathable ) and the various AquaSeal/ SeamGrip products
do much better, being far more flexible .... AquaSeal has quick cure
formulas now

I want to find the tape, because I always have a 'rough usage' pair of
waders around that I use for, ah, rough usage where the seams bear a lot of
stress. Rough usage includes riding my bike wearing waders, and float tube
wading. Float tube wading is using a tube as water wings while trying to
reach places too deep to wade, but still trying to touch bottom to avoid
floating away (Silver Creek tube sections) ... the between the legs strap
of the tube rides up hard into ... private areas ... and greatly stresses
the crotch seam. Rowing ( butt sliding around on seat ), biking, and the
tube wading all CLEARLY decrease life span of waders for ME ... double
bottom waders address the rowing but none I've found, regardless of price,
have seams that will last nearly as long as the rest of the wader ( the
fabric/membrane itself ) ... in these high stress uses. I've never
"worn out" seams with standard wading, the membrane loses it's abilty to
keep water out first usually after several years .... but I've ruined seams
in a single day tube wading.

Why do I want tape instead of reinforcing seams with a glue? Because the
glues conduct heat better and always feel cold, been there tried that.
Double taped seams are far stronger, than single taped, but don't have this
"cold line" feeling.
