Bubble gum? Like do they chew space bubble gum that they could then smoosh in the holes?

In college, we'd use toothpaste for the holes left from nails in the walls we hung up our posters with.

Don’t try this if your toothpaste is the blue or green minty flavoured type. You’re welcome.

We actually did this in my freshman dorm room, as the paint color almost exactly matched the original Crest "green".

Isn't the main problem finding the hole and not what should be used to fill the hole?

They're not teenage boys.

Just spray Fix-a-Flat everywhere.

Or coat the outside with a soapy water solution.

You'd think after 8 years, they'd have found the hole!

They need Matt Damon, a chopped up wooden crucifix, and some silicone caulking

They need Phil Swift, "To show the powerful adhesion of flex-seal, I sawed this space station in half!"

It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all outta gum

They did use space tape (Kapton) and epoxy for that weird case with the hole drilled in the ISS.

The same kapton tape used in electronics? Never heard it called space tape.

It was invented for NASA

Regardless of the veracity of this statement I will now use this term for at least the rest of my life.

Duct Tape, the answer is always duct tape

Found the scrub who doesn’t know about gaff tape

I don't think you can be an astronaut on the ISS without being a handyman, and the handyman's secret weapon is duct tape.

Trust me, grab some yards of gaff tape and try it out. You’ll thank me later!

In general, gaffer's tape is the superior product, but for this use case, I'm thinking that duct tape with its solid backed film and thicker adhesive might be more airtight.

can't one of them just put his thumb in the hole? duhhh
