....yep, it’s true. I bought some large galvanised buckets that I need to be watertight but alas, once I cleaned all the muck out of them they leak. Is there a metal filler that I can use to plug the holes?

If only there were a song that explained the best way to mend a bucket.

Araldite - I have some of that. I’ll give it a go. Thanks, you’ve just saved me from a ‘hole’ world of trouble.

If there are lads of pinpricks you could coat the whole inside of the bucket with epoxy?

Epoxy might be a good option for the couple that have larger holes. Thanks.

JB Weld is pretty good. It's worked for the splines on my HT2 cranks for the last 6 months..
