It may work but it sure looks like crap. Any where you spray that stuff won't be breathable anymore either.

Once I find the leak, I use aquaseal on the inside of the wader. It seals it up and you don't have an ugly patch on the outside. Finding the leak is the biggest hassle and using a light does work well.

Im sure you could probably use this stuff on the inside rather than the outside if cosmetic appearance is so important.

It also comes in white, and if you REALLY cared you could probably paint it to match the color of your waders.

I heard if your screen door in the bottom of your boat leaks tho, that stuff is tops!
