Been reading around re: loading plastic swimming plugs like bombers and redfins.

Just a few quick questions to those in the know...

-I'm just curious what most of you guys think about the "filler" materials such as fresh water, cooking oil or solid stuff like bb's and lead shot (given environmental and health concerns mercury is obviously not under consideration).

-At first glance the liquid stuff (water, oil) strikes me as most likely to leak. On the other hand, injecting a few cc's of the stuff via hypodermic through the head of the plug sounds like the easiest way to load these things without too much work.

-The solid stuff (bb's, shot) seem to get around the problem of leakage, however, getting it into the plug seems to be more of a challenge, as well as "sewing it back up."

I am more than willing to experiment, just wanted to get some surgical "pointers" before I pull a Mengele on some expensive plugs.
