[pct-l] camelback

[jgranite at lycos.com (JGranite)]

I had a similar problem with my camelback, and tried to get some info from the camelback people, but no luck.  (heaven forbid they tell us how to repair something, because then we wouldn't need to constantly buy more stuff!)  There are lots o' good repair substances, like Goop, Aquaseal, and Freesole, all of which would probably do the trick -- I just didn't know if any would affect the water inside the camelback.  It's probably too miniscule to matter, but....  I'm sure someone out there has an opinion on this.  Needless to say, I ended up using electricians tape and that worked just fine.
