Default What are my options for fixing this chewed up drip irrigationsetup?

Interesting.

I have to fix about 300 feet of tubing, one of which is 3/4" and the
other, which seems to be parallel to it, is 1/2" (God knows why).

Given that all the pressure is lost at the first holes, I was thinking
of temporarily taping up the holes, one by one, so that I could get an
assessment as to how many holes there were.

Do you think electrical tape will stick long enough to run a test of
the entire line (it might take a couple of days to test the whole line).
