Repair Patches

Think about adding adhesive patches to your kit if you've got small holes in your equipment. These heavy-duty patches have a high-performance glue already applied on a tough polyurethane backing that allows a tear under pressure to recover. Available in clear or colored options they offer a long-lasting protection against punctures, moisture, sunlight, saltwater and temperature extremes.

If your kit doesn't include any of the items above you might want to consider adding a waterproof Aquaseal wader sealant. This water-tight adhesive will stick to fabrics, plastics, metals and other materials for an unbreakable fix. It's ideal for repairs to drysuits and may be applied while in the field. Allow the sealant up to 12 hours to dry before you can use your repaired equipment.

It includes one Clean Tape patch and a sil-nylon repair sample as well as a 1/4 ounce tube of Gore-Tex Sil-Fix repair adhesive and sealant as well as a brush. Apply patch on a smooth, clean surface of the damaged area, with at least 1/2 inch overlap. Remove the release paper from the patch surface and rub adhesive with moderate finger pressure (adhesive side down).

Surface preparation is vital for successful repairs. Sunblock, acetone, or oils on boots and shoes could affect adhesion. For the best results, you should use Seam Grip alone or with Cotol-240 Cure Accelerator to speed curing up to two hours.
