splashhopper Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 i was trucking to one of my favourite holes last weekend and didn't have my line tight enough on my rod. when i went to set it up, i was hooked, to an idiot! Now I have a pin hole in it that has sloow leak. What can I use to fix this before the weekend? (I put a pen mark on the wader where the hook got caught.) thankx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuchikubo Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Depends on the material it is made of. PVC or Neoprene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfighter Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Use Goop or shoe goo sold at canadian tire, it is so strong and somewhat flexible, I used it on my inflatable boat. I also applied it on my waders and it works and glued everything well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I use the UV wader repair stuff made by Loon - It's actually always in one of my wader pockets. Provided its sunny outside or you have access to a UV lamp, it cures within minutes regardless of whether the material is dry or wet. Certainly beats the 3-8hr cure time of Aquaseal. I applied it to a few holes last season and the patch of hardened goo is still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine in a fly shop in Mississauga. I think it's called WithAFly. I think any tackle shop that sells Loon products should be able to get it for you.

HTHM Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 ummm why the bathroom, why not any dark room? 'cause it was a crappy thing to have happen, ergo, the bathroom is the appropriate place for detection and repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
