Our 50' garden hose has sprung a leak about 10 feet from one end. Is
there a kind of tape that will fix it permanently?

The only good way to fix it is to cut it at the
leak and use a connector and stainless steel
clamps. If you are cheap a two inch length of
copper pipe (same outside size as the hose inside
diameter) will work along with 16-14 gage wire to
hold it will work.
