Brought home a watermelon and two 12 packs among all the regular stuff today!

Unfortunately it handled so well that when I leaned it over to take the downhill turn on the way home I heard a scrunching sound I didn't like. Turns out those panniers ride kind of low and wide with a 12pack in each one and the one on the inside of the turn scraped the ground along that turn like a motorcycle road racer. Now I have a quarter size hole in the bottom of that bag

Is Tenacious Tape a good bet for filling up that hole and keeping it waterproof? If not, what's better?
