Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, Gore-Tex is a laminant. If the Gore-Tex gets a hole in it, no amount of spray or putty is going to repair the Gore-Tex. now you can make a case for making the material that the Gore-Tex is adhered to waterproof, but you will never get the Gore-Tex itself waterproof again. Think of Gore-Tex like a plastic bag adhered to the inside of your coat/boots/gloves that somehow breathes (thus the magic of GoreTex). Rip the bag and you are out of luck.
