Maybe you can learn from my experience.

Why and where does the redfin leak ?

If the redfin's leak from the mold line in the center or where the hooks are located then why not just submerge under water overnite or a few days until water gets inside to the desired level. Then seal the edges with "tough as nails" hoping to seal the leaking area of the redfin. This way you don't have to load the typical way.
