Aquaseal FD & Cure Accelerator

During a backcountry trip my lightweight sleep pad decided to develop a slow leak. These modern day pads are pretty expensive so I was hoping there was a repair solution. Since I was at home when I did the repair I did not need to use the accelerator. I did the soapy water test and located a leak area. Fantastic. Added the repair adhesive and the next day tested it out. Apparently there were more holes than that one. Did the soapy water test again and found 3 other spots on the same seam. Applied more of the adhesive along the seam and let it cure overnight. Next day.. SUCCESS!!! its holding air and I don't have to buy a new one. The adhesive is very flexible so I do not have much concern it will peel off the material. The sleep pad I repaired was a NEMO Tensor 20R. Highly recommend.

Excellent adhesion and seal! Have used this on several different projects but most commonly on replacing drysuit gaskets. It works phenomenally, flexible, durable and gets the job done. Can be messy if you’re not careful so I would recommend getting some nitrile gloves as well.

Seems like excellent stuff for sealing, but I bought it for a bottom of shoe repair, and it didn't seem to last much longer than shoe goo. This type of rubbery adhesive in these capped metal tubes is also always painful to keep the lid clean and get it back off in the future. Wish we could think of something better.Update: With a little more mileage on a shoe repair, I see I still have some of this stuff on a shoe after an intense camelback mountain hike in Phoenix, so I'm revising back up to 4 stars. My initial repairs wore off pretty fast, but after sitting for a while, the residual adhesive seems to have become pretty tough.But, the tendency to seal the plastic cap to the metal tube is definitely decreasing useful life. Maybe this needs to be a 3 pack of smaller disposable tubes.

good sealer

Used this to seal the tape and 1/4" area around the tape on the booties of a pair of breathable waders. No real holes, just 'vague' spots through which water would seep and fill up the boots. No fun in winter..:(.. Did the inside of the booties with McNett Seam Cement. It works well but I like this better. I first took the Cotol 240 (cleans the area and helps the Aquaseal to dry faster) and brushed it on the booties on and around the tape. Then I brushed the Aquaseal on the same area. Just squeeze a little onto the brush each time. I did stuff the booties with some old t-shirts beforehand to fill them up and smoothen out the neoprene folds. When it was done, there is a solid, smooth, soft and pliable rubber layer over and around the seams/tape. Looks and feels very food. Btw, the Cotol 240 will leave a white haze on the black neoprene. Doesn't affect the product and doesn't bother me, just don't be surprised..Haven't tried them out yet, but I'm certain this will have done the trick. Wonderful product and does what it promises. Would definitely buy this again.

I somehow got a tear in my winter boots. I went to the makers website and found what to use to fix it.This stuff works very well. I am very pleased with it.

I have a old pair of waders. The pants separated from the boots, the boots are full of splits.. All over the web, people said this was the shizzle. It is! I felt like Penny making "Penny Blossoms" as the stuff is easy to make a mess with because it is so tacky. Wear disposable gloves! A toothpick helps to carefully apply a small bead and spread it. Do your work on a sheet of newsprint as well.I glued up my waders, spread glue over the cracks. I gave them several days to dry. The adhesive became one with the boot. No more leaks!The only caveat I'll put out there is I suspect once you break the seal on a tube, you will need to use the entire contents or find in a few weeks, the tube solidified. Hence the tube size so small. This is a product I am now going to keep on hand all the time. I've stashed a few tubes in the glue drawer.

Adhesive tube opened, but the accelerator bottle “press and turn” cap will not open. The “sleeve” cap just jumps over the catches on the sealing cap no matter how hard I push down on the cap.
