rubber boot repar?
< on 2/3/2011 4:09 PM >

I wear my boots all the time. They both got some leaks.
I tried using a soldering gun with a flat tip to melt the rubber back over the crack... well it didn't work.
Is there anything that can repair the small cracks? Hot glue? Caulk? Waterproofing spray?

So i'm just pokeing around, are you gona do anything about it.

inner tube repair kit? i would think that would work.

When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.

I use contact cement and patches made from inner-tubes works great.

I've repaired air mattresses with cheap bike tire patch kits before. I'm assuming this would mostly work the same. You should really just grab a new pair of boots though, having the patch let go while exploring would really suck.

Something like this might work in the short term:

Good for homemade grappling hooks though.
