That wadded newspaper really works! I've used it over 30 years now and guys I was with at the time were always amazed!!
Your repair suggestion, however, wouldn't work for a problem I ran into. I picked up a pair of Cabela's Dry-Plus Premium waders from their Sidney Bargain Cave about four years ago. They worked great until this year. Although I'm guessing I've only used them for about 30 days of fishing, they started to leak just above the neoprene boot. The Dry-Plus material was obviously delaminating from above the juncture with the neoprene boot for about six inches up the leg. I called Cabela's, but as suspected, they couldn't do anything because the waders had come from their Bargain Cave.
I probably should switch to a different brand, or go to Gore-tex, but being the cheap, dumb guy I am, I've bought Cabela's newer Dry-Plus Premium wader at full cost, hoping Cabela would handle any problems this time.
You can be assured I'll get back on this BBS if this pair delaminates, especially if Cabela's won't stand behind their product this time.
