That's a great idea that looks very effective and at a very low cost. I'll be getting a big tub of it before Spring!:smt038

I'm curious to what the performance of the stuff is a few feet below the waterline. The examples in the video are near the surface based on the flow rate/height of the water boiling up...
I'm not totally doubting the stuff but after watching that video... I became skeptical when they recommended putting it on split hoses... and showed a hose with what looked like a 3-4 inch split and water dribbling out. My raw water hoses under my boat have an extreme amount of pressure in them after the water pumps and would blow that stuff right out... That's what what self vulcanizing tape (like rescuetape.com) is for...
So they had me until the hose demonstration... now I'm wondering if it's snake oil for anything other than a canoe or speed boat leaking.
Let's go punch a hole in a Bayliner and test it out.
I also carry rescue tape and agree that this putty does not look like a "fix all". I still think it's worth having onboard for the cheap price.
