Bag repair, meaning leak.

Ok, I just bought a sandmaster last week, after half emptying itself in little amounts over that time, it stopped emptying. What should I do when it runs out of sand?? I kind of find it rediculous to go and buy a new one, what can I do when this bag emptys (and its still hole free of course).

cut a really small hole in it, refill, and patch it up with freesole or barge cement or hot glue.

Cut a hole? I would rather use a ball-pump needle and just slowly transfer sand through the bleed hole. If it's coarser sand, use a small straw and widen the bleed hole.

sorry im a noob, bleed hole??? whats that?

My mistake: technically, there aren't any bleed holes on Sandmasters, but there's a way to widen up the stitches. Use a pencil or any cone-shaped utensil and gently nudge in between the stitches of any two panels you choose, then insert a ball-pump needle/straw in.

sweet man thanks. then i just have to ask my mum to sew it up .-. im such a failure

You don't have to take apart anything! It's just widening up the stitches (unless you popped one, then you'll need to sew).

and then it shrinks back by itself, with water or tugging on a thread?

The stitches will revert back together by moving and reworking the gather.
