5 Tips to Prepare and Repair Hunting Gear and Clothing for Waterfowl Season

OXNARD, Calif., Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunters preparing for the fall waterfowl season may be faced with a few surprises when they haul their hunting gear and clothing out of the closet – a rip in the waders they forgot about or a tear in their hunting vest. SG-20 is a new adhesive that is strong, fast and versatile, that will help hunters prepare and repair outdoor gear for the season.

Hunters who frequently wade through flooded timber or do upland hunting know that waders, and other hunting clothes, can also get torn or ripped in the field. Now when a hunter experiences an unexpected tear or puncture in the field – waders, boots, gloves and more – can be repaired in the field with SG-20. Other sealants require 24 hours of dry-time to work. With SG-20, simply dry off the torn or punctured materials, apply the adhesive and let it dry. Within an hour the gear is usable again, keeping air, dirt and debris out.

The gear gurus at SG-20 suggest 5 tips for getting hunting gear and clothing ready for the waterfowl season.

1. No matter how expensive or technologically advanced waders are, they will eventually tear or rip in high-wear areas. Extend the life of neoprene waders by applying SG-20 along the lines of the inseam, or groin area, to reinforce the waders and minimize the risk of leaking. 
2. Fix tears or rips in neoprene waders by cleaning and drying the damaged material and applying SG-20. Have everything ready to go before the plunger is opened because the adhesive sets fast – which is why it is so effective. After it's dry, the repair area is smooth and flexible, moving naturally with the material.
3. Examine duck decoys for holes that could sink them. Use SG-20 to fill the holes and seal fractures and cracks in the decoy to ensure the birds will stay afloat.
4. Keep Muck Boots™, frog toggs®, Xtra Tuff boots, wading boots and a variety of other rubber and canvas boots trekking for another season by repairing them with SG-20. The propriety, two-part adhesive doesn't just stick to boots, it bonds to the boot creating a strong seal quickly and effectively. Even tough-to-repair problems like a tear at the toe bend can be fixed for long term wear. Take on big boot repairs like reattaching soles and bringing together tears at the seam too.
5. SG-20 adheres to a variety of materials allowing hunters to repair rain gear, canvas hunting vests and blind bags, and neoprene hunting gloves as well.

The SG-20 repair kit includes one dual-barrel, a 20 milliliter cartridge, and a dispensing plunger, three precision mixing tips and a contouring plastic sheet that can be used to smooth out the sealant. Once the cartridge is opened, it can be used multiple times using the three mixing tips included and remains shelf stable for up to one year. SG-20 is now on sale for the M.S.R.P. of $19.99 per kit at www.SG-20.com, Cabela's stores and Cabelas.com, and other select retailers.
