How Do You Repair Torn Rubber Hunting Boots?
A misstep in the mud, and a resulting soggy foot, can spoil a day of hunting very quickly. If you discover that your rubber-tipped hunting boot’s integrity has been compromised by a hole or tear, fixing it before your next day in the field is a simple process. It can be completed with minimal effort in the same manner you would fix a leaking pair of waders. Step 1 Fill the tub with enough water to fully submerge the leaking portions of the boot. Step 2 Submerge the portions of the boot you believe to be leaking, being sure to keep the neck of the boot above water. A boot filled with water will not show leaks properly. Step 3 Watch the water for any air bubbles escaping the boot and note their location. Step 4 Remove the boot and dry it before applying the sealant to any leaks you found. Step 5 Dunk the boot once again after the sealant has dried to ensure that all holes are sealed. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 if needed.
