Patch hole in Bluetube 2.0

I've drilled a switch hole in some blue tube and don't need it.

I can accesses the hole from the inside no problem.

Masking tape the hole outside, mix some 5 min epoxy and poor in, pull the tape when it starts to set like gel. Then make smooth with IPA and a blade over the surface?

No, right process, but let the epoxy dry completely and then sand lightly, it will turn out better than getting sagging/pull when in gel state.

BTW, you keep using IPA, what does that stand for? Isopropyl alcohol? Indian Pale Ale? (I suppose both would work ).

Oh, also, I'm assuming you are using packing tape or good vinyl tape so there is minimal adhesion to the epoxy. Don't use regular masking tape with epoxy.

What if I use masking tape around the hole then stick packing tape on that?

Sticky side over the hole?
