Photos to come, but both boots are on the suit. Glued and tapped. I did screw up by not shortening the legs before gluing so it's a little uncomfortable but I'll try a dive before I aquaseal the inside. Should be getting my DRIS glue for the seals and zipper today or tomorrow so those will go on this week.

Some thoughts on neoprene gluing: don't be afraid to really trim back things that are going to be glued. The contact cement will fill some small gaps between the two pieces. By small I mean grain of rice or smaller, preferably like grain of sand size. Also, I found it much easier to put both the leg and boot on the bottle before applying any glue layers. Additionally, it was best if I pushed the two pieces together in the way they would fit and then rolled the bout edge back on itself. This allowed for full layers of glue without either struggling to put it on the bottle after (horrible idea btw, from experience) and avoids premature gluing. If you're worried about gluing the rolled edge to itself then putdown some plastic bag strips or possibly packing tape (will try and report back).
When applying the tape (DRIS drysuit tape, non adhesive) I cut the ends to be rounded since that's what I read. Didn't have any problems gluing it with the mcnetts seal cement like usual but did have a slight problem getting the ends to stay down. Tossed some extra glue on there and tried to apply pressure. The problem was I stretched the tape a little when applying which I recommend but the elasticity was pulling the end up. So far so good though and will leak test later this week.
Unfortunately the DRIS glue didn't come last night.
