Aquaseal works well.  You can buy Aquaseal at fishing stores and some hardware stores.

If you don't use the aquaseal all up in one application....clean the threads and put it in a sealed bag and into the freezer.

When you want to use it again, just run it under warm water and the top will come twist right off.

No more ripping the tube trying to get the top off....same goes for a lot of different glues.

E6000 glue from Michael's is a commercial quality sealant and much stronger than Aquaseal. I have used it to repair all my boots and waders. It cures to a solid clear substance and seals the best. You can use weekly coupon to get 40% off for one item at Michael's (it's $8 now).
