Title: Repairing boots
Post by: davee52uk on December 18, 2012, 21:25:18
I have got a pair of boots which now leak as something has made a hole in one of the soles. The soles are made of what seems to be black rubber. The boots are relatively new from Mountain Warehouse shop.

Does anybody know of a way of repairing them, possibly with some sort of waterproof, flexible glue.

It would seem a pity to throw them away as they are good and strong.

a silicone sealant will do it, a small tube of instant gasket has a fine applicator that may get in the hole to fill it

go to a dive shop and get a tube of AQUASURE this is used to repair dive suits is waterproof and the material around the glue will break before the glue does

No, they're far from new. I don't know whether they can be effectively repaired when they reach that stage.
