    Default Bandit Repair?


    I have a handfull of bandits that gar have managed to sink. Has any one tried to repair them? I was thinking of drilling a small hole on the bottom side blow all of the water out and let dry. Then put fingernail polish over the holes or holes and then use gorilla glue construction adhesive to fill in the drilled hole.


    Thanks,

    I used to add lead shot to Zara Spook and other topwater baits. I used a toothpaste tube size of silicone to seal them and never had any issues. Put the tip on the holes, squeeze,and push to the side. No lump left behind and never leaked. A piece of toothpick to fill the hole and some Sally Hansons Hard as Nails would do the job too.

    When I green carp fished I busted em up on a regular basis on rip rap and other rocks. Fixed em just like Skeet said bore a hole get water out. Fill big hole just like he said. Fingernail polish takes care of the rest or if you got a bunch mix up up some slow cure epoxy.
