Its near the top is it worth the faff?
lezyne and park do
For a while, using super glue, but it eventually came off again - will keep you going for a while though. My puncture hole was in an awkard position by the fill point, so was subject to movement.
That stuff for repairing holes in soft-tops off of ebay would do it I reckon.
duck tape and electrians tape worked in conjunction with superglue also.
Are camelbak bladders not guaranteed for life?
Got a couple of glueless patches on mine, they've done the trick.
Just a matter of making sure the area is clean and dry before sticking it on.

Outside.
Used Duct Tape on mine, also on the rear up near the filler and its been fine for ages, just make sure its clean and dry. Quite sure mine was self inflicted too, although I've not worked out how.
It was one of the older, smooth bladders mind, my new one has a sort of rippled/textured feel to it so no idea if Duct Tape will work on those ones.
damn, I did not know that, have burst two so far, one crash and one child pulling bladder off worktop incident. Wonder if they are going to get all "where's your receipt on me" (pretty old bladder)Camel back bladders are guaranteed for life against bursts take it back or contact c/back direct

Try seam sealant - you can get it in DIY sheds in the glue section - totally waterproof and flexible - works on shoes, GTX, tents, bags etc
Superglue here. Three years and counting... *crosses fingers*

Tesco £7 bike rucksack comes with a medium sized bladder.
I stuck a park patch on the outside of mine and it's still holding 4 years later. As above, clean and dry.
