I found a nice blue hose for a Electrolux L; still flexible but a bit leaky. How do I seal the leaks? Its a bit shorter than the vinyl hose I use; were there any longer woven hoses in aqua? |

I've used plasdip too (with good results) except I've poured it through the inside of the hose. A little messy, but if you're careful, you can't see it and it works! |

If I can can use transparent silicone to seal the hoses, has anybody tried it? |
