[cool][#0000ff]That tape is great stuff and can help keep you on the water if you get a small leak. But, whether or not it will be a good permanant repair depends on the size and nature of the leak.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]A small leak, above water, should be fixable at least for a while. But, sunshine and exposure to air and moisture can weaken it over time. Better to make a permanent fix with Aquaseal. Underwater holes will also hold for an indeterminate time. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you have a cut or tear, then a patch with PVC glue is best.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That tape works great on PVC or urethane air chambers. Once it sets, it is held in place by the pressure of the bladder against the cover and may never need to be replaced.[/#0000ff]
