Default Repairing garden hoses...

The message m
from (Peter James) contains these words:

In fact, 40 years ago I used heat shrink tubing to fix the rod rings
onto a fibre glass beach casting fishing rod I made. The rings seem as
secure today as they did 40 years ago. I am surprised that there seems
to be little use or knowledge of this product nowadays. But it works
and works well. I'm sure there would be no problems using it to fix a
leaking hose.


It's widely used in the electronics industry. I use it when repairing hi-fi.
