Rubber boot repair

[icefisherman]

Well in preparation for the upcoming ice season I've checked my trusty boots and noticed a small less than an inch cut on the front upper portion...not sure but may have done with with my power auger last ice season and never noticed it....any ideas on the best way to repair it as otherwise the boots are serving me very well.

 

Cheers,

I did the same last year and put a 2" gash in mine.

Grab a tube of shoo goo from Canadian Tire and have at er.

marine goop, which is basically shoe goo, pretty sure it's the same thing

As kids on the farm growing up, our rubber boots and the barb wire fences were always a bad mix. Parents would have been broke trying to keep us in new boots. They use to take ours into the local tire shop for patching. It wasn't uncommon to have 4 or 5 patches on a pair before you out grew them.

and so you have been told

shoe goo

I have a tube at home for just about anything because it works so well.

I like the goop a lot better than shoe goo. It will seal anything up. Goood stuff for sure!!

I have used Aqua Seal with excellent success on my 20 year old plus hip waders

Goop or Goo with little rubber patch. The Red Green that sucka down with some duct tape just for coolness effect.

 

Any guy wearing duct tapes on his boots ain't no ice fishing poser. That's fo' shnizzle!

[Guest ThisPlaceSucks]

[bare foot wader]
