Block Surf cement. Black, not clear.

 

Haven't tried them all, so can't say what's "best," but Block Surf is definitely a good one.

 

Seal cement; black.

 

I have had had good luck with the Seal Cement also.

 

I have used AQUASEAL(made by McNett-Bellingham ,WA) for my chest waders/hip boots, clothing etc//for decades. Their material construction is varied and waterproofing was essential. Dog vests materials are equally different based on cost/manufacturer. Aquaseal has worked for me...punctures/barb wire/abrasions/patches.

 

Aquaseal isn't in the same game with neoprene cements, like Block/Seal, for use in tailoring neoprene dog vests, as "neoprene cement" will melt the neoprene edges and essentially weld the new seam together quickly enough that it's no burden to hold the edges together while it works. (Pretty sure Seal Cement is the same thing as Block/Seal and have some on hand for an upcoming vest tailoring.) And I've yet to have one of those seams separate, even though I don't bar stitch, let alone completely stitch the new seam, as is necessary to hold one together while Aquaseal slowly dries.

Not knocking Aquaseal for some other applications. Have some thawing now (best stored by freezing after opening) to redo a breathable wader seam that the tape's letting go on.

 

Aqua seal. I was a commercial diver and we used that product for all neoprene repairs. Most dive shops carry it or perhaps even Cabelas

 

Aquaseal uses Cotol 240 additive for cures under two hours. Manufacturing/altering dog vests might require other procedures and sealants. Ditto on human dive suits. Pay your money get your choice. I never had a failure after use.

If when tailoring a vest, you wish to hold the new seams together for two hours while it dries, by all means do.

 

+1 Seal Cement (Black). Works awesome. Below you can see a "welded" seam that I am pushing apart with some pressure and it doesnt even budge.

 

Will it stick to the nylon covering on vest/ waders?

Or is it just edge bonding neoprene to neoprene?

I have a dog with a 3xl chest and L waist so we're going to be chopping his new vest shortly.

 

Will it stick to the nylon covering on vest/ waders?

If you're asking about neoprene cement, yes, it adheres to the nylon shell as well as welding the neoprene surfaces.

 

Rick Hall #11...There is a difference between mending a a vest/etc.. and making one from scratch. I understand the difference. I have NEVER used a vest on my Labs from ND to MN to MA. September to January (1977-2016). Never hunted south of the Mason-Dixon line. I also hunt with out any collars of any kind. They are either tattooed or micro-chipped because of the danger of getting hung up. Two of my dogs were natural underwater divers. Too much ice/cold-no dogs.

 

Shoe goo is now my go to fix it all glue.

 

My cat's name is Mittens.


Shoe Goo won't hold neoprene together like neoprene cement. Not even close.
