I had the same problem. Pinhole leak right in the crotch.
I used shoe goo. Over and over and over.
Flashlight test. Dish soap bubble test.
Bath tub test.
Finally after six or so applications I had the hole beat.
Dropping decoys on opener....nope. Wet junk.
Buy new ones.

^^^^^^ he has a good point. Crotch leaks are the worst and most if the time beyond repairable. Send them back for a new pair or buy a new pair.

One more thought.
Waders are one of the few things I will never buy used.
Not worth the cost savings if they have the slightest wear.
Discerning the amount of wear on a thick pair of neoprene camo waders aint easy

I think that stuff in the syringe I think it's called sg2 is the best stuff out there. But when it's on a spot getting a lot of wearing and rubbing it will only last so long, I would get a new pair of waders now just in case!

Yeah I saw some stuff at gander mountain that had really good reviews I figure it's only $7 for a tube it's worth a shot. If it don't work guess I'm buying new waders.

And if it don't work you have your self a pair of waders for early season. Great feeling on a hot day to go move decoys and give the boys a cold dip.

Lol I think we all should.
I'm gonna post that on one of those FB waterfowling pages. I wouldn't be surprised if some fool actually wanted to buy a pair. lol If only I could get one of the Robertsons to endorse them, they would fly off the shelves!
