Richard,

If your driptape just has a small hole, you can fix it with PVC sticky tape (the kind electricians use). I learned from Alison and Paul (thanks, folks!), to do these repairs with the water on. Counter-intuitive perhaps, but the water holds the tape in the full rounded shape. Bandage up and down the driptape several times, overlapping layers. The tape sticks to itself, and makes a long-lasting repair. Plus, it's easy to carry a roll of PVC tape.
