Toe cap split

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I was cleaning my skates up (converted NBH Vapor XXIIs) and found a crack running from the inside right of the left boot toecap, to the center of the toecap about 2cm higher. The crack had split about 1mm apart.

I can imagine the crack starting off as a hairline fracture and widening.

I quickly filled the crack with glue gun glue and taped over the toecap.

Are there any ways of preventing the crack from becoming bigger? I'd buy a new pair of skates but a) I have a major European tournament and then the AAU, so I don't wanna be breaking new skates in and B) I was gonna get some real good skates made up when I'm in Philly cos the selection and prices are shit in England.

I had a similar problem and JB weld worked well for me. It's one of those epoxies/bonding compund that you have to mix from two tubes.
