Fittings stuck in bags

**rdlangston13** · 06-01-2015, 03:33 PM

I bought some 650 lb bags from a buddy go upgraded to 1100s in his mojo and I need to replaced the 1" vent connection with a 3/4" one. I cannot get the stock 1" connection out of the bag. It appears that they glued them in??? How do you get these off????

works pretty good. I think I used the hair dryer for like 10 min or so to soften the glue. On a few of mine after I put the new fitting in I would get a little water leaking from the new fitting. Wakemakers said to get some PVC pipe glue. You need the kind that comes in a two part system (primer and glue) and only use the glue, NOT the primer. I've used it and it worked great.

This is a classic sign of "experience".

Watch any good musician up close and notice their fingers dont seem to do anything yours cant do? Makes you feel inspired enough to go home and try playing an instrument only to find he made it look easy.

Those fittings don't come out till you get angry enough to destroy the bag if necessary-- then presto! They come out.

I had the hair dryer on there for 15 minutes and it was not "presto". It was a little more how Kaneboats described it. I was worried I was about to rip the black piece out of the bag
