[Closed] Camelbak bladder repair help

[#3289571]

My bladder has developed a small split in the rubber between the edge seam and the large round filling hole. At around £25 to replace I'd like to try to fix it but there isn't enough space to use a puncture repair patch and the rubber is very smooth - can anyone suggest a repair that isn't just going to peel away after a couple of rides? Thanks!

Depends how big the holeis. I used a blob of superglue. Worked fine but the hole was small.
