I may be the only person who didn’t know about this stuff but I thought I would share anyway.

We had a significant leak at the seam line on one of our boats and didn’t have time to get it repaired. We ended up using this product from Gorilla tape.

Gorilla Waterproof Patch & Seal Tape Black

It’s waterproof and sticks to almost anything. They claim it can even be applied under water but we didn’t test that. It survived a weekend surf course and a 7 day trip so far with no leaks or delamination.

Obviously this isn’t for structural repairs but I will definitely be adding it to my repair kit.

Good to know Steve. Does the clear gorilla tape adhear well?

I have used it and it works well, but I don’t recommend it. The problem comes when you try to remove it for a permanent repair. Instead, I recommend Crystal Clear Gorilla Tape for temporary repairs.
