Stuff is awesome! Works great for me.. everytime I pickup used rubber with the eye inserts I put a couple layers of mend-it over them. Not sure if it helps or not but habbit now |

| Thank you all for your input. I just tried it as well as the torch method and both ways worked fantastic! |

| Heat an exacto knife blade with a lighter, and then stick the blade in the cuts. Melts them right back together. For tails ripped off, you kind of have to melt both sides and quickly stick them back together, and hold them there for a few seconds. The torch method works well, but it takes some finesse to avoid starting the rubber on fire, or melting it too much. |

Location: Land of the Musky | Try this too. I do like the MendIt product but IMO you need to let it sit for at least 4 hours before you use the bait again to let the solvents evaporate out to make is strong. Melt and use IMO is the faster way to get your bait back in the water.
