Helo..

does anyone ever have same problem with cracking or tearing foot pocket like mine?

I have pathos footpocket with fins4u carbon blade..
it's already 2 years usage..
but a month ago I realized that my side footpocket cracked (I say it because pathos has hard plastic than soft rubber material)

I've tried to glue it with rubber cement but no luck.. then I applied epoxy glue but it last only twice pool session.. does anyone can recommend some some glue or solution to fix it? thanks

I uploaded some crack detail below

Here is something that you might try. I used it to glue on a butt pad, but the guy who recommended it said it was good for foot pocket cracks. He said it would even glue a broken power band together for a while. When I touched the butt pad to the butt it was not quite aligned properly and I wanted to move it a bit, but it was too late. It was permanently attached.

Mine have cracked in the same place as yours. I thought about fixing them, but have just left them as they are. Two years and many dives later, they've not got any worse.

does it like cyanoacrylate glue? or tire (rubber) glue as it mention in the packaging?

but it seem good, not too pricey tho.. I would order it soon..

thanks bud..

really didn't get any worse? did you make some hole in the corner of the tear or something to stop the tear?

actually I also think it wouldn't get any worse.. but when see the footpocket underwater, see the gap open and close. really makes me frustrated.
