I'm sure some of you have seen this post in the iFish Community forum, but you guys always have answers. Does anyone know how to use the patches that Cabela's gives with their breathable waders? It looks like it could be an iron-on, but I'm not sure. I'm patching a seam that has a very minor leak. :help:

I've had good luck patching regular holes on flat surfaces, but seam leaks are another story (same w/ bicycle tubes). It can be hard to get a good seal patching a seam, because the water can still seep along the seam past the extent of your patch. Besides, Cabela's is supposed to have a really good return/replacement policy. If they're fairly new, such a leak would seem to be more of a mfg defect as opposed to a case of you puncturing it, so that seems like a pretty reasonable case for you to send it back (as long as you don't need them ready tomorrow).
