Pin Hole In The Beans
 
I stuck the tip of a hook through my bean ultralights and now have a very slow leak. Any Idea how to locate the hole? I just inflated them with the electric leaf blower and put soapy water on the general area, hoping to see some bubbles but no such luck.

Put a flashlight inside close to the leak. In a dark room you should be able to find it quickly. Mine don't go back to Bean's til they have a lot of Aquaseal all over them.

It does work very well with Simms waders.

Thanks all.

I filled the tub to the top and used the wife's hair drier (on cold) to inflate them the waders, then forced them under.

I found the leak and hit it inside and out with some super glue. No more leak.

Good thing you didn't hook the other beans.
