What is the best product for repairing chest waders?  Not neoprenes. Thankyou.

Try Aquaseal. It works wonders

Here's a tip to find pin-holes.  turn the waders inside out and in the vicinity of the pin hole, take a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol on it.  rub the inside of the waders.  The pin holes will turn to dark spots.

The only problem I have with Aquaseal is that you can't save the leftovers in the tube.

True.  to get around this, I always buy a couple of the smallest tubes I can buy.  I throw away the tube after I use it and have one new one for emergencies.  I also have some of the curing stuff that cuts the curing time in half for those days I'm fishing the next day.

for hook punctures try placing masking tape around the hole in the shape of the number sign. swipe some aquaseal over the middle section and wait for it to dry a little then peel the tape off.  you get a nice neat patch this way.
also keep the aquaseal in the freezer until you need it. I have had an tube in the freezer for a year now and just used it the other day and it was fine.

I've tried keeping in the freezer. All it did was to make the cap unopenable. I had to prick it in the middle of the tube and get at the Aquaseal. What a waste. :'(
