As a last resort, you might try the method we used to repair coated drysuits 
for the offshore oil patch:
We simply thinned Aquaseal to the consistency of watery paint using Cotol 
(toluene) and painted it on.  Very effective, durable and water tight.  It 
does of course reduce the flexibility somewhat, but not enough to be of 
concern.
