Any or all the above adhesives should work just fine,
Just make sure your patch has round edges and the
area is clean.

Well one thing I learned is that if the hole is small, meaning small enough to not warrant a ptach of material, the best and quickest method is a drop of Super Glue ( non water soluble like Zap-a-Gap) inside and out, the chemical reaction bonds to the materials and itself through the pin hole and hardens like rock.

The spot is maybe a 1/4 inch around the 1/8 inch puncture. Tested after a several hour cure and not a drop of water came through.

I rembered I did this on my first ever breathables and it worked slicker than shizit. On bigger stuff I will definetly do the aquaseal and patch gig. The Zap-a-Gap hole fixes outlasted the waders.

Thanks all for your suggestions.

Why even try.........

Did that last year.
the disadvantage is the stiffness.
put a dab of seal over the hole inside and out. just in cast you bent it the wrong way...

I'm glad this thread is up. I have a hole in the booty of my breathables. how would you guys go about repairing that? I Tried super glue and it didn't work in fact may have made it worse. The booty is a neoprene type of material by the way.
