I got some of this at Harbor Freight to carry in the van. I tried it on my garden hose twice now and it has leaked both times when I put the hose under pressure. Probably 60psi coming from my house. I'm going to do a second layer over the first one and see how that does. It says you may need to do that for high pressure situations in the directions. It also says something about letting it sit for 2 hours to 24 hours (iirc) to "cure." What have people found they need to do in this regard? I think it's a great product for emergency repair of the odd vanagon water hose that may burst on the road, but how long would I need to wait before getting back underway? Edward
