Not to take away from the other thread, but it looks like this may be the ticket for leaky wader seams.

I took a look at the McNett (manufacture) and it seems it's the same stuff, with different applicators?

Anyhow,... where can one find this, the closer to Richmond, the better?

Any of the hiking stores. Coast Mountain/Atmosphere. Call the nearest one to you and ask.

Freesole is pretty good stuff, it seems to stick to pretty much anything, and is very tough. Even better for your needs may be Barge Cement (if your waders are rubber). MEC carries it but not many other places do anymore. Climbers use it for repairing/resoling climbing shoes and the rubber on them gets some pretty hard use. As a bonus is is grippy, unlike Freesole, which is very slippery. It's about 5 or 6 bucks a tube. I just bought 2 tubes, I'm worried they might stop selling it.

Oh yeah it's nasty toxic too, open a window and wear a respirator! :wink:

fixed a stubborn leak in my neoprene waders with freesole worked like a charm, no wet foot anymore and it has not yellowed like the aquaseal patches
