rubber boot repair
I put a 1 inch slice in my expensive mucks. Anyway I can repair them? I was reading google which suggested silicone glue and a PVC patch. Anyone try this?
What about something like JB weld? |
Pics of the boots and we will have a better idea of what we are commenting on.

Arctic muck boots. With a thin slice about 1 inch long. I didn't even notice it until my feet got wet today. I don't have anything to take a picture with. Sorry
|
GOOP and maybe a neoprene patch. I have put a rubber sole back ona boot and I used it to repair ski doo seats as well. Yes here it comes, get ready,
Goop, I put that **** on everything! |
Clean boot at cut very good.,. use something like laquer thinner, do it fast as it eats some rubber. Then rough up rubber around cut with a small wire wheel on a drill, then apply automotive RTV silicone seal .. you can get it black. Apply about quarter inch thick and leave it set up for about 3 days at room temp. Shud do the job. Has worked for me on waders and rubber boots.

Good luck!
I put a tear into a day old muck boot and have tried everything to repair it - nothing I've found holds up permanently. The best I've done is using shoe-goo which lasts about 2 weeks of everyday wear. (GOOP didn't last a day on mine) Course, it may depend on where the rip is - on my boot it is the worst possible flex point - just behind the toe. If they weren't so F'n expensive (for what you get), I'd just toss 'em. |
x 2, GOOP (tm) at Canadian Tire, will repair military extreme cold (-60)rubber MOON boots, leather boots, ATV tires, Zodiac Rubber inflatables, gum boots, float tubes, fantastic stuff, :sHa_shakeshout:
available in clear and black at Cdn Tire ! |
thanks.. think I'll try the goop. Its not on a bad spot, the slice is on the toe.

Tried them all and one that always works is Aquaseal
See: http://www.mec.ca/product/1999-101/mcnett-aquaseal/ Don |

is great stuff, it is like Shoe Goo but better quality and slower drying and more fluid, need to position repair horizontal to apply. Dries transparent and flexible, designed for shoe repair but also great to repair small cuts in nylon or Gore-Tex. Best stored in freezer. Good Luck, YMMV |
I would take the boot to Kal Tire and get it patched.
|
I would use windshield urethane and the activator. Better than anything I have used before

|
Some new stuff came out for muck boots. SG-20 one minute set and one hour cure. Www.sg20.com I used it one my kenetrek packers. I ride and use them six months of the year awesome stuff

repair tape
I'd recommend a product called fixmytear. It's a repair tape which sticks very well to vinyl, canvas and most other surfaces. Absolutely life saving tape. :)

It depends on were the cut is on the rubber portion or the neoprene.
|
Not sure of any brand names but an adhesive that is used for underwater application should work I would think
|
I would guess after five years the OP has this problem sorted.
