metal or plastic watering can? If the former, just snag some weldbond (putty). (also sugru lasts for-EVER if you stuff it in the freezer)

It’s unfortunately plastic as I know I’d leave metal to rust or dent it.

It’s in a spot that’s difficult to reach from the inside (partway along the spout at a seam) and I’m not really going to go in person or pay $10 delivery for one item so I might just slap duct tape on the outside

I believe superglue and bicarb can be used to patch small holes in plastic. Not sure of the recipie but I'm sure there's one on youtube.

Thanks, I’d probably end up gluing my fingers together though. Or the cat might ’help’
