First of all.
Thank you for taking the time to put the information out there for anyone too use. I've replaced my hissy hoses, all but one which isn't the braided vinyl on the outside, its more like the texture of a tennis ball. A well worn tennis ball. So sometime in the near future I'm going to do this project just for the experience.
The vinyl-rubber-plastic hoses aren't perfect either. They dry out and start cracking and tearing near both ends with age. Seen more than one of them in the trash literally mummified with tape. 100% silicone has worked well for those repairs.
One of my non-electrified hoses has a few pin holes along the length and I was wondering if I could use your method to re-line said hose? It's about 25 years old and is on my daily driver so lots of use. This is a vinyl hose, so wondering if the latex will adhere to that. Thanks, Billy
