Had a pipe under my kitchen sink spring a leak last weekend (because of course it had to be on a Sunday night, right?). Anyway, didn't have the time or cash to call in a plumber immediately, so I grabbed one of those pipe repair tape kits from the hardware store. You know, the kind that's supposed to hold things together temporarily until you can get a proper fix.
Honestly, it was easier than I expected—just wrapped it around tight, and boom, leak stopped. But now I'm wondering how long this thing is actually gonna hold up. The package says "temporary," but is that like a few days temporary or more like a few months temporary? Anyone else tried these quick-fix tapes or patches? Curious if your experience matches mine or if I'm in for a nasty surprise one morning...
