what is the best way to fix rubber waders/boots

[tbulhead]

I got a wet foot today retrieving my boat when I found that some of the rubber on my rubber hip boats had cracked in one spot. What is the best way to fix? Should I just cover with duck tape?

Get a tire patch kit for bicycles. The rubber cement will hold up real well and the rubber patch material will allow bending so it doesn't crack the material around it. When storing rubber hip boots or waders hang them up fully stretched out rather than folded up and always away from natural gas or propane sources which will dry and crack the rubber (e.g furnaces, gas hot water heaters etc.

I've used two part flexible epoxy glue that's for rod building on my boots. Two years of abuse and still going strong.

I used some automotive gasket sealer for low pressure leaks. It worked but I do not know for the long term.
