I`ve tried a few...water inside works best.
A few times I just waited till I felt water coming in.... going deeper in increments then that narrowed down entry point along with wet spots inside.
Or go LL Bean and just return  |
Good health and family

Yeah I hate downtime though that's why I'd never bother with Cabelas or LL Bean unless I had one locally. Shipping back and forth and waiting is a pain.
I don't want to fill the waders with water either since I'll have to wait for the boot to dry but I think it's going to come to that.
I have several sets of waders so I can repair one and wear another but they all leak right now.... |

that is one more plus w/ the stockingfoot just turn them inside out and fill them up w/ water then you can mark where you want to seal.

Sometimes the solution is so simple that you just want to do one of those three stooges moves  |

I'm going to give soapy water a try today. Hopefully I can avoid a wet bootfoot...

Fillin em works just a little at a tim take care not to get the outside wet.Or u kinda defeat the purpose.If it's pinholes it's kinda tough to tell where they leak from as broad area's of the material gets wet.I am done with expensive waders like u say i'm not into sending things back.An the down time involved.I'm just gonna get a couple pairs of the cheapo lightwieght hodgemans when i blow one out get another.The boots will dry fast.Turn em inside out an use newspaper in the boots.
