I got a 32 panel friend of mine. he told me that he put about 3-4 bleed holes in it, well over the last few days of playing with it I noticed that it was leaking. I'm wondering whats a good way to stitch it up with out really ruining the hack.

Im not a sticher but....... I would recomend patching tape of a very thin glue.

Or you can wait for someone elses response

3-4 bleed holes? That seems unnecessary, I do my bags with 1 and they don't leak.

It may be ghetto, but when a bag has a hole I patch it up with band-aid paper over the hole. Works like a charm but makes the bag look ugly.

There is some sort of fabric glue, I suggest looking at a local crafts' store for this.

I put 0 bleedholes in all of my bags. I never have a refilling problem either.

lol, my friend said that he just put in 3-4 bleed holes in it for no reason, but for now I'm using a band aid to patch up the holes like you guys said, been doing that for awhile. I was just wondering if there was a quick and easy way to patch up the bleed holes. thanks for all the help.

I don't know why there would be 3-4 bleed holes in a 32. It sounds like he messed up and tried to explain it away.

There are two kinds of glue that I use on different problems with bags, and depending on how the holes are I would suggest one or the other.

Do you have a digital camera? If you can take a picture (or a few) of it you'll probably get some more helpful answers. If you take the picture but don't know how to post it in here please feel free to PM me.

lol i'm not that noob, but yeah thats a good idea. I'll take a couple of pics of it with the band aid's and then I'll take a few with the holes open... I'll try to get them up tonight... Thanks

Shouldn't there be 30 bleed holes?
