Emptying filler?

Post by KBizzle »

So I decided to change the filler on one of my bags. Any tips on the best way of doing this? Right now I'm just poking the bleedhole with a pen until some falls out, but its taking pretty long time. Any help is appreciated.

take a thin straw made of thin plastic, and make a small cut at one of the ends so that it can be folded into a funnel. then, poke a bleedhole open with a pen, put the funnel in, point the straw down, and knead the bag. filler should come right out, unless the bag has tiny bleed holes.
BRICK!

straws are the way to go.
I actually cut the end of the straw at a slant, and put a wide funnel at the other end for refilling:

take your time making sure the funnel part is nice and you will have a good tool for all future footbags!
