Muck Boot Repair!!!!

12gaugedave

Was out after foxes this morning and while getting through a ditch caught
me foot in barbed wire and put a hole in my boots just over the ankle:mad:.
The hole is just big enough to get my index finger through,
Any body know of a way to patch it??
Think there made from neoprene or something like that.
Cant just glue it coz theres a piece missing.
Cheers
Dave

If they're neoprene,go to a surf shop and ask for a neoprene repair adhesive. The most common one is called"Aquasure", but if you can get one called "black witch"it's even better cos it's thinner. Then get a neoprene patch(sholud be able to get them there too,but if not try a good fishing tackle shop). Is it a big peice thats missing cos if not it should be easy enough to fix? If you cant get the glue,PM me and i'll post one to you,Ihave a couple of tubes here somewhere.. good luck..;)

The piece missing is about 1/2 inch square.
The boots modle is "Avon" fairly sure its neoprene, its real stretchy material. Ill have a root around for a few places that might do it.
Anyone know of anywhere in the midlands that would sell such stuff??

Try a fishing tackle shop and ask them for a repair kit for a set of neoprene chest waders.That would do the trick. try this place,http://www.anglersworld.ie/default.asp or if all else fails,http://www.troutcatchers.co.uk/acatalog/wader_repair_products.html

Ye muck boots use neoprene alright. Give padmore and barns in Kilkenny a buzz, they used to do wetsuits so might have repair kits in stock. Great outdoors in Dublin defenetly have them if your going to be in the bog smoke soon

Gerry scully or any good fishing shop sell it with patches, aquasure will do the job no problem. When finished with the adhesive put it in the freezer will last forever that way. does a great job

Thats a fact, Gave 85euro for the muck boots, there savage comefortable and warm but not much use if im gettin wet feet. At least with the Dunlops ya could just throw them out and give a tenner for a new pair.
