   I'm 95% certain my girlfriend has a torn cv boot.
   Noticed it right when it happened over the weekend and stopped driving that car.
   Is there any way to just pump it back full of grease and flex tape over the tear?

   flext tape will probably make it rigid and cause more tears
   
   can you use a soldering iron or heat gun to seal it?

   Sounds like a Honda civic 07 and up era. No just replace the thing and enjoy life again.

   sewn it back together and contact adhesive it with a sliver of vulcanized rubber.
