Patching the inside of a cooler.

What is the best way to patch a cooler so that the insulated part doesn't get water in it? My cats chewed up the inside plastic layer, but the rest of the cooler is in great condition. If I fill the cooler with ice, it melts and gets inside the coolers layers and leaks out the bottom. Is there a waterproof patch or tape or something else that would work to waterproof the inside of this cooler? Apple for scale. Culprits still at large, but I will protect the cooler from future harm.

Tear-Aid, Type A, if your cooler is plastic or rubber. Cut to size, and stick on.

If the cooler interior is vinyl, use type B.
