You know, I did that, but my kids decided that they needed a bandaid for
every bruise, bump, and owie so I gave up on keeping bandaids, even in my
first aid kit, by my workbench, or in the bathrooms. My wife was yelling at
me the other day for not having any. I told her I'd get her some electric
(the electricians' preferred leak fixer) or duct tape, but she didn't sound
thrilled. Showed me later that she used scotch tape. Like that's an
improvement.
If I have any bandage tape, the white stuff, I usually just use that.
Most of my leaks just need closing up until they can heal within an hour or
so, so that usually works fine. My superglue is usually too old and thick
to use for biological repairs, though.
