How To: Patch Neoprene

[@Richard_Frost]

I have a pair of neoprene fishing waders that got a mouse hole chewed in them, about the size of a small baseball... What material is the patch made of? and where can I find it? I'd prefer not to drop another couple hundred bucks on waders when I've only used these for one season...

Thanks for the question Lance. To repair a small slice in neoprene we recommend following the steps outlined in the video above (How To: Patch Neoprene). You will want to use Seal Cement or Aquaseal and a small scrap of neoprene to complete the repair. If you have any questions along the way please reply to this comment, give us a call (877-677-4327), or shoot us an email ([e-mail]).

Thank you for the comment/question. There is a possibility of chafing if the edge of the patch is in an area that would rub against your skin constantly. Otherwise you should be good.

Has there been any update to the procedure in the last 9 years?

I sustained a concussion under water and am making a think neoprene headband to prevent another hit in the forehead. How do I glue the tan fabric onto the black neoprene. The fabric is for neoprene, I am not sure which product to use. I teach swimming lessons and if I glue it wrong it will be distracting to my students. You mention glues in your video, but the talking is too fast and I cannot catch what you say. Thank you for any info you can give

Hi. I have a life jacket that I thought is neoprene. There are rips in it, but underneath that top surface that feels like neoprene, there's foam. So I'm not sure if that still makes it a neoprene life jacket since it's not like a wetsuit. Do you have suggestions how I can patch the rip? It's about 2" to 3" long, 2 rips.

Hi, I put about a 1.5" slice in the heel of my neoprene fishing waders yesterday. What product would be best to fix this? Thanks

Hello Thanks for the info, do by any chance have a store in Europe?

[@NRSWEB]

We don't have store in Europe, and most of the products used in this video aren't available for shipping international. So your best option is to contact one of our dealers.

Aqua seal and what??I had trouble understanding the other mix.

Trouta Holic Aquaseal and a product called Cotol-240 are often combined to accelerate the cure time on neoprene repairs. You can find this product at the following link: www.nrs.com/product/2294/aquaseal-urethane-repair-kit

where do you get the neoprene from to make the patch ?

[@NRSWEB]

rob ase we recommend contacting your local watersports shop or an online retailer like seattlefabrics.com for small patch-size quantities of neoprene material.
