I just found a tiny hole my BC (Oceanic) Not so big it should worry anyone, but a stich in time as they say... Anyone have any suggestions how to plug up little holes? I was thinking of using my Aquaseal sealant for neoprene and just give it a little dab. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery?

If the hole is in the "inner" bladder you may want try a bicycle tire patch. If the hole is just in the nylon covering and the b.c. holds air, I would use the Aquaseal.
 
Nope, it has air coming out, it's the bladder, however the bladder and neoprene cover are one and the same. Not sure a patch will hold to the neo? What do you think?
 
I would try the aqua seal.

Problem with single bladder designs (Bladder and outer shell are the same) is that they're dificult to fix a hole in the bladder.

Good luck and tell us how it goes.
