Repair Patches

If you've got a gap or two in your gear, you might want to consider adding some adhesive patches to your rep kit. These heavy-duty patches have a high-performance glue already applied on a tough polyurethane back which allows a tear caused by pressure to heal. These patches are available in transparent or colored versions. They offer durability against punctures as well as moisture, sunlight as well as extreme temperatures and saltwater.

If your kit doesn't include any of the above items you might want to think about adding a waterproof Aquaseal wader sealant. This water-tight glue will adhere to fabrics and metals for an indestructible fix. This is great for repairing drysuits and also utilized in the field. Allow the sealant to dry for at least 12 hours prior to using the repaired gear.

Remove release paper from patch surface and rub adhesive with moderate finger pressure (adhesive side up).

Surface preparation is vital for a successful repair; oils on shoes or boots sunblocks, or solvents such as Acetone could affect adhesion. Use Seam Grip with Cotol 240 Cure Accelerator for best results.
