Default Repairing garden hoses...

Has anyone found an effective way of fixing pin-prick holes in garden hoses?

I have tried bike puncture repair kits and self-vulcanising tape. Both work
for a short while but eventually succumb to the water pressure.

Why do holes always appear near the middle of the hose rather than near an
end where you could maybe cut a section off???

Mel.


Perhaps you could cut off a section and using two connectors, insert
another. Probably/possibly more expensive than buying a new hose, though!
