An apparatus for repairing a pipeline includes an elongated flexible tube with one end inverted upon itself to create an outer inverted portion and an inner non-inverted portion connected at an inversion end. An elongated sleeve-shaped liner impregnated with rosin is fitted within the non-inverted portion of the tube member in contact with the interior surface thereof. A plurality of attachment strips are frangible connected at one end to the liner, and permanently affixed to the tube inner surface, such that inversion of the tube member will cause the attachment strips to invert to the exterior of the inverted portion, and thereby also invert the liner to the exterior surface of the inverted portion of the tube.
