Ho riparato i wader seguendo le indicazioni, ed e stato un trionfo, lavoro perfettamente riuscito. Ora devo provare la tenuta andando a pescare.

Unico problema e il pennarello, che bagnandosi con l’acqua sbava e tende a cancellarsi pur essendo indelebile…. Quando si i Wader si asciugano si rischia di non vedere bene i buchi da riparare se sono di piccola entità.

Ciao Loris, puoi utilizzare un Markal B Paint Stick per contrassegnare le perdite. Puoi acquistarli su Amazon.

My waders have a nice, round hole about 1/4" in diameter, an inch above the top of the gravel guard. Since Seam Grip can't be applied where there isn't any fabric, a patch is evidently needed, but what to use? LDPE? Tenacious Tape? Other? This is a recent pair of Swiftcurrent waders.

AMG - 답글

Hi AMG, you can actually fix a hole using Seam Grip by either using LDPE on one side or a TPU patch before applying Seam Grip. Because of the location it would be easier to use a TPU patch, the adhesive would keep it in place while applying Seam Grip. Next apply seam grip to the other side liberally, extending past the hole by a 1/2" in all directions. Cover that with either another TPU patch or LDPE film with a flat weighted object to flatten out the repair while it cures. I hope that helps with future DIY endeavors.

How about the seam in the crotch of the waders?
