GEAR AID Aquaseal FD Flexible Durable Repair Adhesive for Fixing Tears and Holes in Waders, Wetsuits, PVC Inflatables, Vinyl and Outdoor Gear, Dries Clear, 0.75 oz, 2 Pack

This worked great on my husbands mud boots. The sole was coming off of a pair of pretty new boots and he glued it back on with no leakage. It has not come off and it’s been a couple months. He does wish I’d have gotten 2 tubes. He could have used more. His boots are a size 15 so that might make a difference. No smell and it dried quickly.

I've used this product on several repairs, and it has performed flawlessly in all cases In one case I had waterproof rain pants that has tears in both knees. I put the pants flat, poured a bunch of the aquaseal over the tears, over a much wider area than the tear was, left it for a day. Then I applied another coat over the areas again for extra protection/repair. The seal is perfectly waterproof, tough, and even adds protection to my knees when I am kneeling on the ground. The other repairs were on my rubber boots. I have some Irish Setter rubber hunting boots which cost $180 and are the most comfortable, amazing footwear I've ever owned. Recently I was walking through a marsh and somehow tore a 1" slit in the boots near the ball of my big toe. I thought it was the end for my boots. At home, I cleaned the boots thoroughly, washing them, cleaning out the torn gash, then I dried the boots on my boot dryer. Then I wiped the area around the tear with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contaminants and prep the surface to receive the aquaseal. Next I put a "tenacious" patch from another product (an aquaseal wader repair kit) on the INSIDE of the boot, over the tear. Then, on the outside of the boot, I filled the tear with a lot of aquaseal, as well as a liberal amount out the outside of the tear about 1.5" beyond, all around the area. I put the boot laying horizontally to let the aquaseal settle in the tear and over the area. The next day, I applied another coating liberally over the whole area and beyond, for extra strength and sealing. The next day, the repair was complete. I left the tenacious patch inside the boot since it added extra strength as well as kept my socks from rubbing on the aquaseal repair, which is slightly tacky even when cured. The boot repair is incredibly strong, yet flexible, and 100% waterproof. The repair has held up under a day in a marsh, walking/hiking, standing in water, etc. I am thrilled that my amazing boots are totally repaired and I don't have to spend hundreds to replace them. Additionally, on the same boots, there were a few minor areas around the base where the outer rim of the sole was very slightly beginning to separate from the sidewalls of the boot. After cleaning and drying the area as noted above, I poured some aquaseal in the separation/gap areas wherever it looked like it needed it, and pushed it in with a tooth pick, then added some over the area more for better hold. After drying, the area is tight and strong, like new. When done with the product, I wipe the threads of the tube and the inside of the cap with a papertowel with a little isopropyl alcohol, then put the cap on relatively tight. I keep the aquaseal tube stored in a ziploc bag, in the freezer, as noted in some documentation somewhere that I read. When ready to use it again, I put the tube in a container or warm water for 10 minutes and I'm good to go with the next repair. This stuff is fantastic, if you use it properly. Will buy again and again!

Have used aqua seal on several customers items including gaskets, wetsuits, spray skirts and even shoes! Dries pretty quickly when mixed with cotol. Can get a little messy but make sure you wear gloves and you’ll be okay. The more you work with this, the easier it gets to use. You find ways to spread it based on the job you have at hand. I’ve found several other uses for it around the house and on the water. Adheres very well, seals the water out and stays flexible!

Did the job, but it took more than 3 separate attempts to actually seal the open seams. Very messy. A tapered tip would help.

I had put my nail through the butt of my wetsuit after not using it for a LONG time - and I used this stuff as directed to amazing results. I ended up using it on the crotch area, too, because the seam was coming undone. Couldn't be happier. Then I used it to "fortify" the seems on the back. You can't tell when I've got it on that I used it at all, my repairs were on the back. Also..I didn't just glob it on, I put some of it on a dish I didn't care about and then used a 1/4" hard bristle little paint brush to brush it over the area. For the crotch spot, I made some clean lines that were like a half moon shape - kinda like the gusset shape/placement so it didn't look weird. Honestly, I don't think anyone would tell it was repaired because I didn't just shove it on there all Willy-nilly. Plus, I mean, what's the harm of putting a little more than you need in an area that gets decent use? I'd rather have a little more and repair once then have to double up later. Also, it IS nice and pliable once dry. I left mine to "cure" for a few days - why risk it? But I love the results. Also, it functions - no leaks. So...just do it. It's better than any I've used before. Also...as for the tubes. Just do what I did. Get the amount you think you'll need out at the start then brush it on. Then you don't leave the cap off the tube so it doesn't dry out while you're working. Will you maybe use a little more than you need? Maybe...but you won't waste the whole tube like if you leave it open to dry out! Also, store in a cool place in a ziplock bag and you'll be good to go. Oh, I also used it to put a patch on my other wetsuit - an iron on patch. You can't iron neoprene - no matter what YouTube tells you (women...! We're crazed!)...I had a stain on my yellow wetsuit from hanging it somewhere stupid and I'm OCD so it bothered me beyond belief. I got a cool patch that matched the "vibe" of my suit (because there was also a little hole there I wanted to cover)...carefully applied this stuff to the patch and my suit, and stuck a carnival mallet (no really), over it for 2 days. And voila! Perfect patch! Also, it's not TOTALLY clear if you use it on a lighter portion of your suit. It comes off "shiny" on the black parts, my yellow suit got a little "grey" around the patch but whatever - it's better than it was looking.

Best waterproofing adhesive at really good cost

It worked really well to fix my rubber boots.

horrendous value - don't buy. This stuff is available off the shelf for 12 dollars a tube.
