ESSENTIAL ADVICE FOR BANKSIDE SUCCESS...

HERE’S a quick and durable way to mend waders. Yes, you can use patches and glue, but for a quick and durable fix you can’t beat some household adhesive.

We’re indebted to Simon Scott for this one. The fish-farmer and lecturer is rarely out of waders, so when he Tweeted about using Evo-Stik’s Seriously Strong Stuff we had to take note.

It might not look pretty, but it works. Use a sealant gun to apply a dab of the adhesive over the rip or tear and simply wait for it to dry.
