    if its been left for a long time dry thats normal..

    drop it into a bucket of hot water then when the waters cool enough for you to put your hand in to pull it out it should have swelled the cnavas fibers enough to maintian its integrity.

    And if it's that old it needs replacing, do the above anyway.

    My old one had to be filled with water and placed in a sink full too. After a couple of days it took up and stayed that way.

    From memory ive heard of putting a mix of sugar and water in them to help seal them up , once it stops leaking give it a good rinse out

    Can one still buy them? I used to have one on the bullbar on my Hillman Hunter when on trips (30+ years ago) - I liked the cool water.

    I bought one to hang on the rack that was on our 2a front bumper.

    It leaked for a few days then I hit a bump on Fraser Island and watched it flip up and off the hooks.

    Thump, thump, under the two drivers side wheels.

    It was flat out after that (sorry).
