Sealant for pin-hole in plastic pressure washer lance

[DavidFrancis]

As per the title.  Is there a sealant that would seal this hole satisfactorily?  Tried a few searches on Google and could find nothing useful.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Is it coming out a lot ..?? May be best with something like CT1 or Sika under a jubilee clip tightened over the spot.

good shout on the jubilee, possibly some denso tape if the ct1 doesnt work

Maybe try silicone tape?  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Everbuild-2SWELDBK-Silweld-Silicone-Fusing/dp/B007554ZI6

I've tried twice on mine with a 2 part, Araldite like epoxy glue.....FAIL. Not on an easy bit either. Right in between plastic reinforcing bits. Built in obsolescence I reckon.

Thanks for the replies.  Unfortunately the lance has reinforcing fins/flanges (or whatever they're called) like some Karchers parts do, which makes clips or tape difficult to use.  I suppose I could cut out a wedge of something, try sealing that in and then put a clip around that.

 

Any other ideas?

A picture with an arrow pointing to the leaking part would be helpful

This is sounding like the lances on the same cheapo ones I have from B@Q circa £30 each and bought on a whim when they've had them as specials. Going to buy a Karcher now.

 

I reckon this lance is the same as the one I've got that's split:

Karcher used to have a website where they sold all the factory returns - basically they made a good unit from all the bits returned as it was cheaper to ship someone new stuff rather than a replacement hose etc on the off chance the customer has it wrong. 

 

Mate bought one of the dogs danglies ones for less than 30% of list price. I've got one that's 4 wheel job and other than the patio cleaner that's useless, it seems to be still going strong. 

 

Just checked and they still do https://www.karcheroutlet.co.uk/products/subcat.asp?mID=Pressure-Washers&sID=Sale

Have you looked at Nilfisk pressure washers instead of Karcher?

I'm aware of the name. Figured go Karcher for future spares.

Nick - I was using the outlaws' Aldi one, which I borrowed and returned on Saturday.  But the section of lance that started to leak is similar to the section attached to the patio cleaner here:

I'm still unsure as to where it's actually leaking from sorry. Is it where the sections join ?
