Back when I spent as much time in a fishing boat as I did on dry land, I got pretty handy at making quick repairs.
When the fuel line for my outboard motor developed a leak, I fixed the problem without missing a cast. It wasn't a bad leak, but it was dangerous. I used bubble gum and duct tape to stop it. In the high-tech world, a repair like that is called a quick and dirty fix. Some - like my bubble gum and duct tape fix - can't be recommended as long-term solutions. But there are quick fixes you should know about. I'll talk about a few today.
