How do you patch a hole in Pebax shells?

Recommended Posts

I accidentally punched a 1cm hole in the shell of my Scarpa Alpha boot. Does anyone know of a good way to repair it? I asked Black Diamond, and they said that because the shell is made of "Pebax", nothing sticks to it for very long or very well.

 

Anyone out there know of a good sealant or epoxy for patching a hole in Pebax?

 

Many thanks,

Steve

1) seam grip will stick to just about anything. try roughening up the shell first with sandpaper

 

2) get a soldering iron and melt the pebax slightly around the hole so it fills in. DANGER 1) plastic fumes, 2) you will void your warranty.
