Bag was in the back of my truck for a week right next to an oozing dinner size garage bag of pogies. When I found out what was taking place I removed Skinz bag and emptied all the plugs, tins, and hardware onto deck. Soaked Skinz bag in a solution of 10 % bleach, Dawn in water. Worked somehwhat at getting putrid aroma out of bag. Don't get me wrong I know of worse smells and I didn't want the smell entirely out of the bag just mostly. Anyway one day when wife was at work I washed it in the old sears washing machine. The bags strap got caught going around the spindle and pulled tight against the strap end
where it is sown into the actual bag. Strap is still in one piece but the side of the bag is torn about half way down. I am thinking that I am going to rivet it back together if I an gather enough material together. I believe I will still have enough room in bag for everything. Any other ideas?
