This repair is done on the inside of the wader so it is not seen and if you
are carefull you do not get a huge build up of sealant.
I think the key term here is Aqua Seal. This is a thin, very flexible, and easy to work with urethane sealant...I think a far superior product to any of the Goops. It's not cheap, but you don't need much when repairing a wader. Works great also to repair float tube bladders, vinyl rafts, etc.
