The best thing to use is a product caled Marine-Tex, available at boat and marine supply stores. It will do the job, no worries, and you can do it yourself.

Wow, I didn't realize the risk of explosion was so great, even after taking precautionary steps.
There are no boat/marine stores near me that I am aware of(I will double check though), is there a comparable product that I might find at Home Depot or an auto parts place?
Another thought is JB Weld... seems like it might be perfect for this application... thoughts?
I'm desperate to patch this up ASAP... riding a bicycle everywhere is real pain...!
Thanks!
