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?
