Plenty of glue in the groove


20 minutes after gluing


And to show how strong it is, check this video out. I couldn't pull it apart:

So there we are. There's is absolutely no way this CV boot is going to split.
The boot is probably neoprene, and the glue IS more-than-likely regular "super glue" which is cyanoacrylate... Super glue + neoprene makes an incredibly strong bond.
