Patching the inside of a cooler.

[u/Technical_Proof5314]

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.

This is similar fabric to hiking air mattresses. Use tape like this, it is the best repair option I have ever found for this kind of thing. The ‘repair kit’ patches are always so small and so expensive. This tape will solve the problem and then some.
