I turn my waders inside out and hang them by the straps from a beam 
connecting my garage and house. I then use a hose to fill each leg 
with a foot or so of water, taking care not to splash any on the 
outside (was the inside.) Then I look for small drops or water coming 
out, usually from along seams in the neoprene feet or where they 
attach to the fabric uppers.

I use a permanent marker to circle the point of the leak before 
carefully lowering them and dumping the water out.

Next, I mix up a little Aqua Seal with some accelerator and apply a 
small amount to cover the hole. The accelerator makes the Aqua Seal 
dry in just an hour or two.

BTW, be careful when filling the waders. With just 15 or so inches of 
water in each leg, they weigh a ton and add additional stress to 
seams.
