Neoprene Wader repair

So while I was out hunting with the emperor my waders got a nice little gash from a Russian Olive thorn around the blind. I don't really want to drop the cash for some new waders and the google for some patch kits was easy enough, just thought I'd ask here if there was any you guys particularly like?

You could try shoe goo. That's what I use on my breatheables.

Cheap enough for 6 bucks, I might try that on my breathable fishing waders.

Spit on it, then rub some dirt on it. Fixes just about everything.

Tried that last week while breaking ice on the river at 5°, it did not help! My nuts still froze into marbles.

Between oyster cages and dead wax myrtles in the marsh my waders are more aquaseal than neoprene at this point. Love the stuff.

Does aqua seal weld the neoprene back together or just strong adhesive?

Just a strong waterproof adhesive. I think the waterproof part is what makes it work the best.

Never used it, but 3M makes a neoprene glue, used to repair wetsuits. I beed to cut Taz dog vest to fit him better, was told to use this to seal back together.

That's what I'm looking for to cut and glue dog vest. Didn't think aqua seal fit the bill for it.

Sounds like I should go with aqua seal, I have three waders to fix! Down to the back up back up pair, never tore a wader till recently.
