Step 15Sealing holes in Backbone...!
I had a problem that one of the holes where the sprouts came off Le Backbone, it was leaking from the joint. to fix this, I filled in the hole and decided to extend the tubing to another point on the backbone. To fill in the hole, I mixed together two peas of araldite and pasted it over the hole. for good measure, when then araldite is no longer sticky on the outside, I smothered where the araldite joint was in copydex, a type of pva glue. For good measure I them wrapped it in baking paper to prevent it from dripping. However, upon peeling it off when it was wet, the copydex went stringy. Keep the paper on until its dried =]

any reason why you don't use irrigation grade backbone piping? seems much more stable and they are really cheap.
