The seams were sewed together using a zigzag stitch to form a booty that is pulled over the casting of the foot.
I pulled it tight and stapled it together to hold it in place. Around the cuff I folded the neoprene down and cemented it into place. Around the ankle area I attached an additional layer of neoprene with contact cement. I was hoping to peel the nylon fabric off but it is too solidly attached and was prone to tear the neoprene rubber. I will leave it, even though it will absorb more resin and add to the weight of the boot shell.
Finally, I taped off the portion where the fiberglass will not be resined onto the lining/padding. I decided after this photo was taken to not cut so low in the heel area.
