Put the lure in the freezer for about 10 minutes take out and put in a bowl of warm water the leaks will show

Found my leak in about 28 seconds flat

 It had cracked around the rear most weight in the head piece. I drilled about a 3/64 hole on the opposite side, sucked the water out and bought the Testors cement.

Kazki Hotta (known as KZ, a DRT field staff in AZ) just posted on his story about using low viscosity acrylic cement to seal cracks etc. in ABS baits.

I applied the cement to the cracked area and let it hang overnight. I am going to apply another coat this evening and use a very small amount of JB Weld, Waterweld to seal the hole. I will then be testing for leaks after that.
