I’m glad that the flexseal worked great on your waders. I do know that on breathable boot foot waders they work as well. Granted sprayed them on the inside and letting them dry by turning them Inside out works as well. Let me give you a tip. I’ve heard fisherman tell me as well as a podcast. Do not wear jeans under your waders for the simple fact that abrasion from the jean material will rub up against the stitching and the seams and create a leak you’re better off wearing a type of sweatpants, cotton material or polyester, shorts or pants to avoid the abrasion of the jeans against the seams of the part of your waders, but I am glad that you fixed them. Congratulations. You probably got another year out of them.
Best video, leaf blower, spring clamps, yep put the blower in the boots close the opening with spo g clamps, start the blower, inflate boots, spray bottle of soapy water....leak find easy peasy....flex seal....
The exhaust port of a small shop vac also works well for this method. I dab on the soap solution with a sponge brush--somewhat less messy than spraying. You do need to rinse away the soap before applying sealing material. My preference is E6000 adhesive, clear, flexible and doesn't set up in the tube like Aquaseal does once it's opened.
A suggestion--mask off the seams with masking tape so you only apply to that limited suspect area, and don't clog up so much of the breathable membrane where there likely not leaks.

Flashlight! Great idea. Been looking for methods to discover leaks beyond filling the waders with water. Thanks.
thank you for watching. please share the video
Glad it worked for you. Didn't work on my LL Bean Emerger waders. I use the waders in the surf so it's a tougher environment than a stream.
Going to use this where the wader sock meets the wader material.. hopefully it works!
Watching your video now and it looks like the solution to my problem also. Wondering whether overtime the Flexi-Seal fix has continued to work?
Amazing
I am going to try it out. I am going to do it on the inside of the waders.
I tried flexseal on my waders on seams and pinholes. I found that it cracked after a few days fishing. Leaks came back.

There's a video?

my leaks were at the seams
By the way I have used water proof rain paints and water proof socks and I was bone dry with my very leaky waders.
Interesting. What brand of waterproof pants? Waterproof socks? Thanks.
I used columbia rain pants I got on sale and random Amazon water proof socks.@@Artiej0hn0
Why not Spray the Flexseal on the inside of the waders?
Hello. Did you apply it from inside or outside?
He did it on the outside. Would be tough to turn the boots inside out.
Is it still holding up?
yes it is holding up!
Is it still holding up?
3M 5200 marine sealant works best.
yes if you know where the leak is
