Repair Patches

You might want to consider adding adhesive patches to your kit if you have small holes in your equipment.

Available in clear or Avon starter kit color options, these patches provide durability against punctures, moisture sunlight, saltwater, and extreme temperatures.

If your kit doesn't contain any of the above items, consider adding a bag of waterproof Aquaseal wader repair sealant. This water-tight adhesive can be bonded to fabrics and metals to provide permanent repair. This glue is ideal for repairing drysuits, and is also employed in the field. Allow the sealant to set for up to 12 hours prior to applying the repaired gear.
