Patching breathable waders.

Most breathables come with a small tube of liquid for repairing waders. It
is not Aquaseal. Patching them is very easy. First it is much esier to
find the leak than with Neoprene. You can usually see the hole on the
inside fabric, or can use a flashlight, not waer, to find the hole.
Secondly for small holes, i just put some light sensitive knot sealer over
the pinhole. For larger holes, you are supposed to back up the hole with
something like Saran Wrap, then cover the hole with their patch material or
again knot sealer. The difficulty in patching breathables should not be a
concern

I was thinking about getting a pair of hodgman streamlite waders for
$80. I don't really want to buy a good pair yet, because I'm not sure
if I'm going to use them a lot (I'm torn between canoe fishing and
wading). My question is "How hard is it to patch them?" I can deal
with an occasional leak if I can fix it.

Chuck.

No, but Aquaseal does the job just fine.

The advantage of light sensitive knot sealer is that it is hard/dry in a few
seconds after you expose it to the sun. However if you do the repair at
night, you have to wait for morning for it to harden!
