I think you did the right thing. That flex wrap might work if there is a cut somewhere on the pipe that's away from a joint. I have a small leak on a joint and I will use a similar method. I don't have time to order that ring off internet. I will buy a pvc coupling and cut a ring just like you did. We will see how it goes.
@@christiansanich1910 I have finished mine the other day. I glued a ring cut out of a same size coupler just like you did. As the second layer, I opted to use a larger diameter coupler (instead of a flexwrap) and glued it over the joint. It looked perfect to me. But I got some mixed comments from people that this repair would most likely fail in the future. Well everything may fail but it is gonna last a long time. So who cares? Some people are just not geared to repair things. They like to replace all the time. Repairing is always my first option if possible. I would have posted a picture here but I don't think I can.

I've had this repair in the ground for probably over 5 years now with no problem. I'm actually pretty amazed it has lasted.
