Zusammenfassung:A method for repairing a pipe leak, said method comprising the steps of: providing an elastic resiliently deformable patch defining a first surface and an opposite second surface defining a protuberance; placing the patch over a leak of the pipe with the first surface abutting the pipe; and providing an elastic resiliently deformable tape manufactured from a material which, when said tape is tension wrapped around the pipe, resilient deformation of said material causes cohesion so that the tape stays in place about the pipe; and repeatedly tension wrapping said tape around the pipe over the protuberance and second surface to urge the patch onto the leak.
