So, I must have had a fish hook incident and am trying to sort out if it warrants a full clean/sand/patch or just a dab of glue? I have also considered "Tear-Aid B" or "Aquaseal" since it's a microscopic hole? What are your thoughts? It is about 2" away from a gunwale rope lug, so I could fit a patch if it is warranted.

If it's a tiny pinhole where air exists in tiny bubles, deflate tube, spread it out flat horizontal and apply a small droplet of instant glue, crazy glue type on top of pinhole. Let dry for some hours. Reinflate tube and check with soappy water if air leak has stopped..

Happy Boating
