Patch for smoking vessels

Abstract

A method for repairing a smoking vessel with a patch having a first surface and a second surface includes locating a damaged portion of the smoking vessel, applying moisture to the first surface of the patch, applying the first surface of the patch to the damaged portion of the smoking vessel, and drying the patch to form an airtight seal over the damaged portion of the smoking vessel. The first surface is coated with an adhesive. The patch is a quick, cheap, and convenient way to prevent air from passing through the damaged area so smoke flows smoothly into the smoker's mouth without burning the smoker.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of repairing a smoking vessel comprising:
 providing a patch with a first surface and a second surface wherein the first surface is coated with an adhesive;   locating a damaged portion of the smoking vessel;   applying moisture to the first surface of the patch;   applying the first surface of the patch to the damaged portion of the smoking vessel;   drying the adhesive on the first surface of the patch; and   forming an airtight seal over the damaged portion of the smoking vessel.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the damaged portion is selected from the group consisting of a break, a crack, a rip, a tear, a hole, and a combination thereof in the smoking vessel. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the smoking vessel is selected from the group consisting of a cigar, a cigarette, a bong, a pipe, a smoking paper, a leaf, a wrap, and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising applying a second patch to the damaged portion of the smoking vessel. 
     
     
         5 . A smoking vessel patch, comprising:
 a flexible rectangular substrate having a first surface and a second surface; and   a water-activated adhesive adhered to the first surface;   wherein the flexible rectangular substrate and the water-activated adhesive form an airtight seal when applied to a smoking vessel surface; and   wherein the flexible rectangular substrate and the water-activated adhesive are non-toxic if ingested and emit no toxic fumes when burned.   
     
     
         6 . The smoking vessel patch of  claim 5 , wherein the first surface is fully occluded by the water-activated adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The smoking vessel patch of  claim 5 , wherein the water-activated adhesive is present along a predetermined region of the first surface.
