Can it be used to repair a leak in a garden hose?

Yes, I believe you can. You will need to wrap it very tightly with at least 50% overlap and no wrinkles. But why not buy a set of male/female couplings and place them in the damaged area. For $2 you will get a foolproof repair. You will not have to wonder if the repair will leak.

I would thinkt could at least temporarily. I have used the good ol "clam shell" many times.

I have never used it on a garden hose, but I don't see any reason why it could not be used. This is a good, handy product to have around.

Yes, start about 3-4 inches down from the leak and wrap tightly up and over the leak and keep going another 3-4 inches further past the leak. Do not stop there. Then start backing up (wrapping) back down where you started. Cut (not tear) the tape and press firmly to bond to itself.

I guess it could if you used a lot. The amount you need should not give a leakage problem.

Yes, I believe it would....this tool is very easy to use and opens the most difficult bottles....stands to reason that it would also tighten a garden hose....if it weren't snowing and so cold, I would go outside and check it....

i doubt it- the hose would squish in when you try to snug the tape down. if you used this to cover one of those metal 'hose repair fittings ' that always leak it would likely seal. It didnt seal a leaky pipe joint on a hot water boiler line - just dripped out around it. Good luck

It is a water hose and it came apart the first time I tried it. Also, I had another one and it does not have the pressure that the standard garden hose has. So it has limited use,but I can see it for motor homes or light watering of plants and flowers.

I used the tape to repair a water leak in the kitchen sink just below the drain. The tape stretches a bit and adheres to itself during wrapping. I don't believe it would work for your particular need but would be nice to have in your Do it yourself tool kit.

It might work. It's probably worth a try. Make the repair from the inside of the gutter where it's leaking. Use some coarse steel wool to rough up the area befor applying the putty otherwise it might not stick. Good luck

do not think so. It is designed for a swimming pool size of pipe. Much larger than a garden hose.

Yes you can. See this video from Youtube. This is how I fixed my leak successfully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRpkklLqoKI

NO, the fittings are designed to be used with 3/4" Garden Hose connections. Could you adapt the fittings for air? I suppose you could be I've always found that air will leak where water will not. Plus I'm not sure the increased pressure of air would be smart. ie: Water 30-50psi Air up to 120psi.

doubtful. this stuff only works for a short time, then the leak will re-develop.Especially, if leak is at an increased pressure point.

This is more of a gasket sealant. (O-rings and washers) It will work for garden hose gaskets as it is a hydrophobic sealant/lubricant. Typically garden hoses only need good rubber gaskets and clean threads. If you want to seal threads you'll need teflon tape for metal or pipe joint compound for plastics as these are more suited for stronger seals.

I'm no expert , but...my attempt to fix a pin hole leak in a copper pipe (not under water) did not work because this repair tape is an open mesh and, even when set, would not stop water coming through. I'd try another option first.

I don't see why not...extension cords are usually smaller in diameter than garden hoses. (That's not too bad an idea!)

Not a good idea, if there was an attachment. There is a rubber attachment for a garden hose (several sizes) that uses water pressure. It has worked for me. Try a good hardware store.

I used it on the hydraulics for a wood splitter and it stopped the leak. A lot less effort then replacing the gaskets. I have not done a lot of splitting this summer will give it a true test this fall.
