Clean surface of hose.
Drill/punch small hole at puncture site.
Squeeze silicone sealant through puncture site, you want a blob inside.
Now, squeeze hose so that the blob is distributed around the inside of the
pipe.
Add more sealant to the outside of the pipe, a scrap of polythene over the
sealant, and garden wire over the lot.
Fill with water (not under pressure, and with slow flow) and you're done.
12 hours, and it should be set.
Alternatively, if a small leak isn't a problem, just do the second two,
but slightly tighter.



Don't quite see how you would drill/punch a small hole at puncture site.
I cannot see this being a reliable system for all hose materials at all
normal pressures.
The o.p. did not give the hose details so other replies, including mine have
tended to suggest employing tried and tested measures covering all
materials and pressures.
