Trying to Find Leak
Message:
A leak I have in my waders has gotten bigger and can't find the exact location even though I know the area it's coming from.
What I did earlier was filled that leg up with water enough to go past the area of the leak. I also tried trapping water in that area and squeezing it to see if a squirt would come out but couldn't find it.
I have neoprene waders and was wondering if there's any smart ways to easily find a leak.

Turn inside out....lay them on a slope and fill with water. The water pressure will stretch the neoprene and simulate the higher pressures when submerged and turning inside out will simulate water entering from the outside...as it does. Neoprene can become threadbare and might only leak when a certain area is stretched as well so filling then and allowing them to bloat will also help reveal the leak. Within a few minutes you should see a dark spot where the water is entering.

If you'd do me a favor SD, make the vocabulary of your reply more basic and easier to understand. Kinda too scientific for me.
