  1. I've had moderate success with repairing moderately cracked boots but have come to the conclusion that its a temporary repair at best. A liquid rubber product like flex seal, applied as a complete unbroken layer to the entire exterior can work, but it doesn't stop the real issue which is the boot rubber deteriorating from age and heat. It's difficult to get two things to stay bonded when one of them is literally decomposing. Ive never seen a successful repair of a completely broken boot, but maybe someone else has?

     

    If you can get liquid rubber, tape off the gasket surfaces and coat the heck out of the outside, the idea is not to seal individual cracks but to essentially create a laminated outer layer so that the cracks become irrelevant.

     

    In a pinch, your local hardware store probably has liquid masking tape in the electrical section, it can work well for sealing cracks. Clean the old boot really well with alcohol (not acetone or lacquer thinner) before applying anything.

    Roger that Tim, this will be a temp fix due to other problems that need to be fixed also. 165 bucks for new boots that I will eventually buy after I fix my tyranny problem lol
