Chest Wader Repair

onelastcast · 2019-11-11 13:11:27

Can anyone recommend someone in Leinster or Ireland that would do a repair of a pair of stockingfoot chest waders? Tried myself but still have some water getting in around the seem on the knee. I know Diver Dave in Scotland but is there anyone in local tackle shop that might offer this service?

I don’t know anyone but I would wonder if it’s worth it? Getting them professionally done I mean. If one Seam is going it’s likely others aren’t far behind.

When i have a pair going that way I normally just get a tube of aquaseal and patch them as best I can. Maybe get another year out of them. Once the thread on the seams starts to fail they are often on borrowed time. If it’s damage then it’s worth a try but if it’s seams going rotten over time it’s nearly impossible in my experience.
