Same problem here and the same solution except I used some clear hose from
Lowes or Home Depot.  What I did in hopes of the repair lasting longer was
to cut two pieces of electrical shrink tubing that would fit around the two
joints.  Using a small butane solder gun, I shrank the tubing tightly
around the joints.  Then, spread liquid tape over the entire area
overlapping onto the original hose.   Then wrapped everything with rescue
tape.  Only time will tell if this was worth the extra effort.
