Some carbon fiber fabric: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017OPUZD0/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B017OPUZD0

Plus some epoxy resin. I'd apply a thin layer of epoxy, add some of the carbon fiber fabric over top (cut it to size before you start working with the epoxy) and then add some epoxy over the carbon fiber fabric.

I don't know how long that will hold up, but it should extend the life of the skates temporarily anyway. I know it's hard to give up on Makos - I have a small stock pile of my own. I'd try to scour the internet to find another pair (or a few) in your size for when these eventually fail, but I know they're not easy to find now. Hopefully an epoxy resin/carbon cloth fix can make your current skates last a while longer.

They sell graphite blanks on Amazon, then a desktop cnc mill would make short work of it.

If it's hot enough to melt a little bit and your insulation is good enough, then you can melt a lot.

I was going to combine this with this for the bucket build, and have holes through the lid for these. Make a stopper for the sight hole and a lip on the lid to minimize oxygen introduction. Should work out pretty OK.
