  1. No, not a running injury but a burst camelbac. It's only a pinhole leak but
    it seems a shame to chuck it without trying to mend it.

    Anyone successfully patched one? As luck would have it it's holed right by
    the weld at the edge so no simple patch is gioing to seal it.

    TIA

    Do you re-use condoms. 🙂

    The epoxy to seal the patch will probably poison you. Buy a new one!

    You can buy replacement bladders. As Doug mentioned, Having epoxy
    inside you is something best suited to smokers 😉

    100% silicon rubber, just be sure it says 100%.

    9-11 forget it, it's over. Who cares? Nobody.

  5. Silicon gives off nothing once cured.

    But keep the old one for next summer, built in cooling ;-)

    I do that with condoms too, and when they tear after 8 or 9 uses, you can mend
    them with crazy glue, and get 2 or 3 more usages out of them.

    You might try one of the new cyanopoxies, like:

    www.sinbadglue.com/

    It's actually medical glue - used for stitchless healing of incisions
    so there should be no worry about contamination.

    It is pricey, though.

    My understanding is that cyanoacrylates were developed initially as
    surgical glues. I've used them myself during surgery, in mice.

    I guess that's acceptable practice in beastiality circles?

    Be serious! I wouldn't waste a condom on animals.

    Any kind of rubber adhesive should do the trick. Try looking up
    Shoo-goo or liquasole. If I remember correctly you're in GB so you may
    have to find British versions of the American products.

    I use liquasole to patch my hiking air mattress.

    This guys an idiot. That stuff is fine for shoes, but not for something you'll
    eat or drink.

    My immediate thought was that another one of David's internal organs had
