"Marine Goop" and a patch of wader fabric has worked for me many times. Prep around the area to be patched by rinsing well and make sure completely dry to start. Scuff the area just a bit with some sand paper just like fixing a bike tire when we were young. Apply a smooth coninuous and even layer of Goop to both sides of the damaged area of your waders and coat the whole patch piece. Apply the patch to the outside of your waders. Make sure the patch is at least 1/2" larger than the hole/tear on all sides. Make sure you have a good even coat of the Goop on both sides and make the Goop go 1/2" beyond the patch size on teh outside and 1/2" outside the hole on the inside. LEt dry 24 hrs. I don;t care what the directions say...you need a full day to CURE not to DRY. You should then be all set.
