Gear AID Aquaseal FD Flexible Durable Repair Adhesive and Cure Accelerator for Fixing Holes and Rips in Waders, Wetsuits and Inflatables

Excellent adhesion and seal! Have used this on several different projects but most commonly on replacing drysuit gaskets. It works phenomenally, flexible, durable and gets the job done. Can be messy if you’re not careful so I would recommend getting some nitrile gloves as well.

Worked great on a PVC dingy with a patch.

Seems like excellent stuff for sealing, but I bought it for a bottom of shoe repair, and it didn't seem to last much longer than shoe goo. This type of rubbery adhesive in these capped metal tubes is also always painful to keep the lid clean and get it back off in the future. Wish we could think of something better. Update: With a little more mileage on a shoe repair, I see I still have some of this stuff on a shoe after an intense camelback mountain hike in Phoenix, so I'm revising back up to 4 stars. My initial repairs wore off pretty fast, but after sitting for a while, the residual adhesive seems to have become pretty tough. But, the tendency to seal the plastic cap to the metal tube is definitely decreasing useful life. Maybe this needs to be a 3 pack of smaller disposable tubes.

I somehow got a tear in my winter boots. I went to the makers website and found what to use to fix it. This stuff works very well. I am very pleased with it.

good sealer

This product was purchased to repair a slice in a water proof work boot. I work in water all day and wear a expensive pair of Rubber steal toed work boots. i sliced the side some how and water would leak in. This is not good as the water has lime and high PH and not only gets uncomfortable but can remove skin. I did have to stitch the hole with some heavy thread as the slice was in a spot that actually flexes and would open up. I applied a small amount in the slice and then stitch it up. Followed up with a layer over the slice and about 2 inches around it. It sets up quick but was thin as it does settle. I have added a 2nd layer and will probably do a 3rd just to be safe. But over all this was a great solution to a very bad problem. It is flexible and seems to be durable. Time will tell.

I have a old pair of waders. The pants separated from the boots, the boots are full of splits.. All over the web, people said this was the shizzle. It is! I felt like Penny making "Penny Blossoms" as the stuff is easy to make a mess with because it is so tacky. Wear disposable gloves! A toothpick helps to carefully apply a small bead and spread it. Do your work on a sheet of newsprint as well. I glued up my waders, spread glue over the cracks. I gave them several days to dry. The adhesive became one with the boot. No more leaks! The only caveat I'll put out there is I suspect once you break the seal on a tube, you will need to use the entire contents or find in a few weeks, the tube solidified. Hence the tube size so small. This is a product I am now going to keep on hand all the time. I've stashed a few tubes in the glue drawer.

Adhesive tube opened, but the accelerator bottle “press and turn” cap will not open. The “sleeve” cap just jumps over the catches on the sealing cap no matter how hard I push down on the cap.
