JB Weld 'em
those 2 tubes can fix any thing. and its only $5.

Items I own currently held together with JB Weld:

1. rear-left side of ski rack to car
2. 3rd buckle on left Nordica boot
3. My free frequent filler Maverick Coffee cup
4. used as p-tex for base patch on my '98 K2 Outlaws
5. replacement cap for bota bag

They sale it at any Home-Depot, its the bomb!
I have cracked boots b4 by taking them from one extreme temp. to another
very fast. Like sitting on heat vent in a motel room, then opening the door
and skiing into some sierra cement.

My first pair of boots have formed a half inch crack where the instep

meets
the ankle. They are a pair of Lange Mad Max boots that I bought in the

fall
of 1999. I only use them for about a week or two each year.

My question is whether I have abused the boots. When I walk around I
unbuckle the boots for the sake of comfort. Could walking around in
unbucked boots stress them too much and cause a crack ? I thought boots
were tough enough to withstand a beating.

Any help would be appreciated ?

John

Wow. That's a lot of stuff you've got stuck together.

How do you manage to ski with your boots glued to you coffee cup and ski
rack?
