| I assume melting both sides ( body and tail ) then holding them together ? |

| for deep cuts, I've done best heating a butter knife with a torch, put it in the gap, then pinch the bull dawg together and pull the butter knife out. Hold the dawg together until it hardens. On small cuts i just heat the outside with a torch until the rubber melts and flows together. |

| If you use flame to re-fuse tail to body, don't chicken out. Get those cut surfaces blazing and dripping molten rubber before you shove them together. It'll look like the whole dawg will go up in flames, but it actually takes more than a few seconds of blazing before you begin to compromise the dawg. |

Indeed  I wait until I see a few drops of plastisol drip off and then smash the two ends together. Then hold under water for about 30 seconds. Then it should be good as new.
FYI-I just took all of my 6 pack of tails down 50%. They are all now around $5-$6 for a 6 pack of tails for Regular, Magnum and Pounder tails. Just not selling a lot of them so I am liquidating them now. Have about 100 6 packs left for each size so buy em up. You can find them at the bottom of each of my SuperD pages on www.tackleindustries.com
thanks
