    Default Spraying Weatherstrip Foam In Marker Buoys


    Has anybody sprayed foam in your marker buoys? I have one that is leaking and was foaming a couple cracks in my house and thought about trying it. It says it is water resistent.

    Drill a hole in opposite ends and fill it. It will be heavier, but once the seal breaks, what do you have to lose.

    Let us know how you do.

    I spray it in the handles of all my nets and they float!

    I had one that was leaking and I put a bit of gorrila glue over the hole and it's worked fine since. foam should work also.

    I filled all of my buoys with foam last spring, and they work real good, now they dont leak all over you when you wind them up.

    I filled mine a few years ago and it works great. The had started taking on water. Just make sure you remember that stuff expands. I'd just fill it maybe 1/3 full to begin with and go from there.
