I have used Goop with good success. I have used other brands that worked pretty well too. The key is to get it dry before you start, use lots and lots of the stuff and let it completely cure before using it again. The brand I would not ever use again was Scientific Anglers. It gets very brittle and cracks off after a few mpnths of use.

To temporarily fix a samall tear or puncture use a rubber worm and lighter. Dry the best you can and melt the worm into the tear. It doesn't have to be completely dry, but it can't be soaking wet. This patch will help get you though the day until better repairs can be made.
