Good high quality black tape works well.

Tape it with good quality electrical tape it will be fine.

okay thanks guys i taped it tight with good electrical tape hope this works but the good thing about the leak is i could hear it hissing as i walked up to it so i must be getting good natural vacuum

Food grade electrical tape I hope!

I reused an old piece of mainline that had been tapped before for a section of my vac bush. I have holes on the bottom that have been sealed with electrical tape for 4 years now.

shoot, I forgot about food grade ill have to go buy a mainline tool and put in a food grade coupling :lol:

I would also mark the mainline with orange or pink flagging and do a proper repair after the season is over.
