Thanks for the info! I agree about not using the Duct tape. I guess that was a male reflex. Duct tape and baling wire can fix anything ;D I read a thread on another site about Home Depot has a patch kit for vinyl. I might look into it.

I risk being racously derided by the flock of observers gathered round this thread! Oh well. I just finished perusing my new Good Sam "Highways" mag - and their Tip of the Month is ATOMIC TAPE! I kid you not.

It comes off of a roll, like vinyl tape, and once applied is permanent. Comes in white, black and red. Its qualities are as follows:

Withstands 700 psi / insulates 8,000 volts per layer / stands up to 500 F heat.

It comes in a 1" wide roll, backed by a clear plastic film to prevent the tape from touching. This is necessary since the tape is self bonding and forms a permanent seal in just a few minutes. Uses include (but, not limited to) bundling wires and hoses, general repairs and insulating tools, sealing almost anything wich leaks, etc.

Cost - $24.99 + S/H for one black and one white roll.

See it at: http://www.atomictape.com/

Author of the Tip said he just jumped ship from duct tape to ATOMIC TAPE.
