This is nonsense! Use Gorilla tape or 3M duct tape for safety! Are you trying to get someone injured!?

You don’t crank a zip tie down on each side? Man, be careful! That tape may let go! Be safe and get some Walmart zipper ties for these situations!

:joy: this hit me just right

Why spend so much money on a zip tie, when you can use bread ties for FREE, I carry a large black trash bag full of them on my rickshaw

There might be other ways, but this is what worked for me:

1.Clean the damaged area thoroughly with denatured alcohol.
2. Pull a vacuum on the hose and apply flowable silicone to the damaged area until it stops sucking.
3. Wrap the patch with self-fusing silicone tape.
4. Coat everything with JB Weld epoxy
5. Wrap fiberglass mat around the hose and embed in the wet epoxy
6. Go over the fiberglass with more JB Weld
7. Paint with 2 coats of rubberized cyanoacrylate
8. Dip in paraffin
9. Wrap with copper wire
10. Protect everything and get a finished look with a wrap of black Gorilla Duct Tape
11. Avoid using the hose for more than 11 PSI
