Unpopular opinion: duct tape is NOT a fix for everything
A plumber in Denver told me last Tuesday that using duct tape on a copper pipe leak actually made the damage way worse over 6 months. He showed me the green corrosion eating through the joint and said it trapped moisture instead of letting the pipe dry out. Has anyone else found a better emergency patch that won't wreck your pipes?

Wait isn't duct tape more for air leaks than water pipes?

Oh man, I once tried to fix a garden hose with duct tape and ended up with a sprinkler system in my garage!
