FAST AND EASY FIX FOR A WATER PIPE LEAK!

What happens here

Gather the necessary materials: an old piece of rubber hose (such as a radiator hose or similar flexible rubber tubing) and a worm clamp (also known as a hose clamp) of appropriate size for the pipe. Using a utility knife, a multi-tool with a knife, or scissors, carefully cut a section of the rubber hose. Then, slice this section open lengthwise to flatten it into a rectangular piece. Trim the rubber piece to a size that will comfortably cover the pinhole leak with a small overlap, creating a custom rubber gasket.

Goal: Collect an old piece of rubber hose and a hose clamp, then cut the hose to create a flat rubber gasket.
