deep skate cut on Bauer curv quarter

[seangriffin 0]

Pretty deep skate cut on ankle/heel of skate, not quite all the way through the material but looks pretty close. Thought about filing with epoxy but from what I've read so far most don't bond well to polypropylene. Worried about it cracking through, any recommendations as to what I can fill it in with?

A picture would help in assessing the situation.

I also had a couple of deep skate cuts on my old TotalOne's that happened early on while I was using them. Mine wound up being nothing more than cosmetic, not expanding throughout the life of the skate. As already offered, a picture of the damage might bring you more thoughts on your skates.

Can't really tell from pic but in the middle it's at least a couple of millimeters deep (can get my thumbnail pretty deep in it). Based on location i'm not too worried but would like to protect from moisture and more damage. Maybe cover with "toe pro"?

I dont have any repair ideas but how the hell did that happen

Downward skate cut on inside right heel. Not sure how it happened, didn't see it until I pulled them off after an hour of pick up.

I have the same cut in the same spot on my One95 skates & to repair, I taped off the area, filled it with JB weld & smoothed it out, then took some black Testors paint and brush to it... this was in mid- 2012 and still holding up well to this day.

I was also worried about structural damage, but like mentioned earlier, it's more cosmetic and wouldn't worry about it after patching up.

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl, glad to hear the jb weld hung onto it.

Quick question, did you go with the "plasticbonder" product (jb site says it works with polypropylene and dries tan)? Just want to make sure I'm grabbing the right one.

I used the "original formula"...
