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?

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

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.

First post dredges up a 4 year old thread to shill for some product on the amazon market place. To get it in Canada it is only $237 (with free shipping)! What a joke.

Aquaseal works on the neoprene. Many years ago I took my rubber chain saw boots to a tire shop to get a patch put on. It held very well.
