[Spridgets] Honda CV Joint*

[dlancer7676 at comcast.net]

Better than duct tape for this type of repair, this stuff is what you need:

It is a silicone product that is supposed to bind to itself and is only $6.50 (plus, of course, the horrible shipping.)

And once you start dealing with Duluth Trading Post, you will surely become addicted to their unique line of goods.  Good company, great quality!
