  • Instructions for Use

            

    Prep:

    Clean and dry area to be repaired. Oil, waxes and other residue may affect adhesion.

    Roughen smooth surfaces.

    Holes and Tears:

    For all waders: Turn fabric waders inside out. Neoprene waders may be repaired from either side. For nearly invisible repairs on tears, create backing with removable tape (cellophane tape).

    Fill void and 1/4 inch beyond with Aquaseal. Keep repair level. Remove tape after full cure *(see below).

    Note: To accelerate dry time use Cotol-240™ Cure Accelerator (not included).

    Patch Application:

    For fabric and breathable laminate waders: If desired, after applying Aquaseal, immediately apply patch over damaged area. Wipe any adhesive residue from edges. Item may be used immediately. See patch dry time (inside panel). Turn waders right side out. *A second patch may be applied over tape if desired.

    High Wear Areas: Apply thin layer of Aquaseal as above and apply patch on fabric waders if desired. Seams: Apply Aquaseal to inside of seam when practical. Apply thin film by holding tube opening flat against seam. Lightly squeeze and draw tube across threads. Aquaseal may also be applied with brush. Keep level until dry.

    Aquaseal Dry Time: Wait 8 to 12 hours before use. In many cases, if patches are used to cover Aquaseal, waders may be used immediately. However, testing for water tightness is recommended before use. Check patches periodically for stability. If used before recommended dry time, use caution to avoid contact with uncured Aquaseal during use or before folding or storage. Uncured Aquaseal may bond to clothing or other items.

    Patch Dry Time: Reaches full strength in 24 hours. For best adhesion, apply heat from hair dryer at low setting for 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid fabric damage.

    Clean-up & Storage: Clean hands with terrycloth soaked in solvent, paint thinner, acetone, etc. Read solvent precautionary statement prior to use. Advance tube contents to tube neck, wipe clean and cap. Store in a cool dry place or for extended life, place in freezer. For thawing or for easier flowing contents, soak tube in warm water for 15 minutes.

  • Tips & Testimonials

    Testimonials –

      I have always used aquaseal with very good results. My waders are 6 years old.-Nebraska

      "When the leak in your fishing wader is caused by a small hole - the barbwire leak or the notorious hiding leak, the easiest way that I’ve found to fix the leak is a product called “aqua seal”. “Aqua seal” is a kind of a liquid patch that you simply spread over the area in need of a patch and let it dry. It works great.."-FishingTreats.com
