The pipe was repaired. What’s unfortunate is that due to the deterioration of the pipe over time, I had more than 2 more pinhole leaks in other locations so I ended up digging out the whole main line and replacing it with PEX. All is well now, thanks for watching!

'm pretty sure paper towels will micro-scratch the surface (like swirl marks on car paint). I'd recommend trying holding a microfiber w/ warm distilled water on it for a couple minutes first since I think most TVs have chemical-sensitive coatings (e.g. anti reflective).

Excellent I found as you did you need to lightly tap the remover tool to move the slip connector or remove a valve/fitting. I purchased a metal remover tool making it much easier to install slip connectors or remove valves or other sharkbite type fittings.

Awesome video man! Do you think the method I've seen of tracing the seam on the bottom of the boat would work for a template? Someone said to trace an inch inside the seam, but I didn't see that in the videos of people doing it. So I don't know which to do. Also, did you need to make the sections a little smaller for the hinges to hinge? was the stability around the hinges better than without? I was hoping to do without (for storage purposes). If i put the foam tube all the way around each section would that help if I didn't have hinges? thank you in advance for any help yo can offer. I know I through a lot at you, but I would really appreciate it!

Notice on the shark bite sleave a mark 1" inside on the end that was connected last. It is not in the middle of the shark bite connection. The stopping point is 1" inside the second connection not at the middle. The other end also is in at least 1". It is set to the limit on the second connection and has about 1" gap inside the connection. It is correct, although at first it doesn't look like it.

Right so it’s slides and stops at one notch but moves very freely at the other. All you have to ensure is that it’s seated very well with the shorter notch and the other one is dependent on the pipe size you have

I highly advise against doing it with the water on as the pressure from the water is no joke. I personally haven’t done it before like that but to turn off the water is simply only 15 minutes so I highly suggest taking that route if you can. For a temporary fix you might be able to get some garden hose with a metal screw clamp and tighten it down over that pinhole. Not sure about the longevity of it but it definitely has been done. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

Hi! Really nice way to make a foldable floor. I was planning to do so first, but I am not actually sure if this hinged floor is stable enough on the water. So I was planning to make a 4 piece floor, with bolts and nuts in between the parts. So one can simply screw the parts together with a 3d printed nut sleeve. I think I will document the building process and share the video of this approach on here. Maybe this would help someone out as well.

you could make it very sturdy with a sliding type of kingpin that goes between each section, 2 one on each side. pretty simple to do just gota buy the hardware. sorta like what a trailer hitch has, you just need to bolt some U shaped shakles onto each section and slide a kingpin thru em.

Sharkbites rule and properly installed last a good long time. I've got some in service from when they first became available over 15 years ago and they are still working fine. I even have them installed on hydronic copper heat runs - from the same time period - and they are still working great. You have to follow good plumbing practices when applying these types of push to connect fittings. The only people who don't like Sharkbite plumbing fittings are plumbers and HVAC types who want to charge you $200 an hour to fix a leak when you can do it yourself for $25.
