We know a lot of you have been buying used ballast bags lately, and you may be swapping out fittings on them
Someone tried Wakemakers tip on removing glued fittings today.
Works like a charm, but you can't be timid about it. You have to be determined and a little brutal with it.
Don't worry, you won't hurt anything.
They recommend heating the joint for at least 5 minutes, he found that 7 minutes with a 1600 watt hair dryer was the ideal time.
And it really does "pop" when it breaks loose

I think Spencer posted this after he reached into my wallet this afternoon and deftly extruded $500 smackers for my Mojo tsunami package. I told him I used a heat gun on my bags (who's really got 15 min to wait on a hair dryer?) and was slightly alarmed when my daughter asked if the bag was supposed to be "smokin?"
She was totally confused when I said, "nope and we definitely don't use this on Brian's balls."
