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.

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.

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.

x2. They also sell adhesive in a tube that works great if they don't have patches with the glue already applies.

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.
