- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Style: .75 OzPattern Name: AdhesiveVerified PurchaseVery pleased with the repair. Goes on smooth and smooths itself out when done in a warm environment. Used it to glue down seam tape on my waders that had come loose in the crotch and also to seal the seam from the outside. Dried solid and is not sticky. Would definitely buy again if I had a leak.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2023Style: .75 oz - 2 PackPattern Name: AdhesiveVerified PurchaseI had put my nail through the butt of my wetsuit after not using it for a LONG time - and I used this stuff as directed to amazing results. I ended up using it on the crotch area, too, because the seam was coming undone. Couldn't be happier. Then I used it to "fortify" the seems on the back. You can't tell when I've got it on that I used it at all, my repairs were on the back. Also..I didn't just glob it on, I put some of it on a dish I didn't care about and then used a 1/4" hard bristle little paint brush to brush it over the area. For the crotch spot, I made some clean lines that were like a half moon shape - kinda like the gusset shape/placement so it didn't look weird. Honestly, I don't think anyone would tell it was repaired because I didn't just shove it on there all Willy-nilly. Plus, I mean, what's the harm of putting a little more than you need in an area that gets decent use? I'd rather have a little more and repair once then have to double up later. Also, it IS nice and pliable once dry. I left mine to "cure" for a few days - why risk it? But I love the results. Also, it functions - no leaks. So...just do it. It's better than any I've used before. Also...as for the tubes. Just do what I did. Get the amount you think you'll need out at the start then brush it on. Then you don't leave the cap off the tube so it doesn't dry out while you're working. Will you maybe use a little more than you need? Maybe...but you won't waste the whole tube like if you leave it open to dry out! Also, store in a cool place in a ziplock bag and you'll be good to go. Oh, I also used it to put a patch on my other wetsuit - an iron on patch. You can't iron neoprene - no matter what YouTube tells you (women...! We're crazed!)...I had a stain on my yellow wetsuit from hanging it somewhere stupid and I'm OCD so it bothered me beyond belief. I got a cool patch that matched the "vibe" of my suit (because there was also a little hole there I wanted to cover)...carefully applied this stuff to the patch and my suit, and stuck a carnival mallet (no really), over it for 2 days. And voila! Perfect patch! Also, it's not TOTALLY clear if you use it on a lighter portion of your suit. It comes off "shiny" on the black parts, my yellow suit got a little "grey" around the patch but whatever - it's better than it was looking.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2014Style: .75 OzPattern Name: AdhesiveVerified PurchaseI've used this product on several repairs, and it has performed flawlessly in all cases
In one case I had waterproof rain pants that has tears in both knees. I put the pants flat, poured a bunch of the aquaseal over the tears, over a much wider area than the tear was, left it for a day. Then I applied another coat over the areas again for extra protection/repair. The seal is perfectly waterproof, tough, and even adds protection to my knees when I am kneeling on the ground.
The other repairs were on my rubber boots. I have some Irish Setter rubber hunting boots which cost $180 and are the most comfortable, amazing footwear I've ever owned. Recently I was walking through a marsh and somehow tore a 1" slit in the boots near the ball of my big toe. I thought it was the end for my boots. At home, I cleaned the boots thoroughly, washing them, cleaning out the torn gash, then I dried the boots on my boot dryer. Then I wiped the area around the tear with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contaminants and prep the surface to receive the aquaseal. Next I put a "tenacious" patch from another product (an aquaseal wader repair kit) on the INSIDE of the boot, over the tear. Then, on the outside of the boot, I filled the tear with a lot of aquaseal, as well as a liberal amount out the outside of the tear about 1.5" beyond, all around the area. I put the boot laying horizontally to let the aquaseal settle in the tear and over the area. The next day, I applied another coating liberally over the whole area and beyond, for extra strength and sealing. The next day, the repair was complete. I left the tenacious patch inside the boot since it added extra strength as well as kept my socks from rubbing on the aquaseal repair, which is slightly tacky even when cured. The boot repair is incredibly strong, yet flexible, and 100% waterproof. The repair has held up under a day in a marsh, walking/hiking, standing in water, etc. I am thrilled that my amazing boots are totally repaired and I don't have to spend hundreds to replace them.
Additionally, on the same boots, there were a few minor areas around the base where the outer rim of the sole was very slightly beginning to separate from the sidewalls of the boot. After cleaning and drying the area as noted above, I poured some aquaseal in the separation/gap areas wherever it looked like it needed it, and pushed it in with a tooth pick, then added some over the area more for better hold. After drying, the area is tight and strong, like new.
When done with the product, I wipe the threads of the tube and the inside of the cap with a papertowel with a little isopropyl alcohol, then put the cap on relatively tight. I keep the aquaseal tube stored in a ziploc bag, in the freezer, as noted in some documentation somewhere that I read. When ready to use it again, I put the tube in a container or warm water for 10 minutes and I'm good to go with the next repair.
This stuff is fantastic, if you use it properly. Will buy again and again!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2024Style: .75 OzPattern Name: AdhesiveVerified PurchaseGood for the price
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022Style: .75 OzPattern Name: AdhesiveVerified PurchaseI had a rip down the seam on my rain coat. It's just made of PVC rain material. I placed a lining of the glue down the seam as luckily for me it didn't rip anywhere else off the seam. I let it cure over night and tried to test it pulling it apart. I was not comfortable pulling it any hard as it was separating at the seam. I flattened the area on the outside and placed another thin layer to bond it with the outside of the jacket with the seam.
It was a lot better after I applied the layer on the outside. It's shiny from the light but it's a rain jacket. Testing it out by pulling it, it held good, so good, I stretched the fabric that wasn't bonded. It does have stiff feel with some give. I didn't mess around to much after waters. The sealing is good. No water penetrated after I doused it under running water.
Very good product. The only hard part is waiting for the curing time. It recommends 8-12 hours. If you have time I would get this. But if you don't have time, I would instead get the package with cure accelerator which is suppose to cut the time down to 2 hours.
I'm not sure if putting it in the freezer is a good idea as the package suggests. But my tube has hardened stiff. If it doesn't soften up when I leave it out as I have another project I have to get to. I'll update the post. Other than that, avoid the fumes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great performance and value
Sticks to anything and holds on. I bought it to fix some damage on a very expensive pair of rubber boots, and it worked perfectly. It stays flexible when it dries and keeps water out.
I bought the 8oz tube and it is huge for the price. 100% I would buy this again.
