Hi,
I have a water butt with a 22mm hole in it. What can I use to seal it? Does anyone know of any plumbing or hose attachment that I can attach to block it? My butt hole is a clean cut.
Thanks
look at plastic tap fitting diameters and see if you can fir one and keep on off position?
Don't use anything water-based, depending on how deep it is you could consider some petroleum jelly?
stick a wine cork in it (from the inside) ;)

I would use a fibre glass patch then put plumers putty ofer that would make it water tight
22mm is a standard plumbing size for cistern overflows, so you could bung a capped PVC pipe on it for a posh job? But cheaper still, find a bath plug of the right size and Araldite or seal it in (preferably from the inside). If all else fails, stick a patch of rubber sheet (eg an old inner tube) on it with sealant from the inside. Water pressure will help keep it watertight.
