| Fixed it, Apr 2019 |
My old plastic watering can has been leaking for a while. It's had a few small cracks; the largest of which was letting out a small steady drip. I managed to mend it using a candle: actually, I first attempted to melt it back together, but the flame only burned the hole a little bigger...but I gently smoothed on some melted candle wax over the hole, and it now holds water again.
It's not exactly a permanent fix, however. The husband and son have been warned to handle with care, as the wax can just be scraped off--or even just knocked off. Still, I'm happy with it, and glad I don't need to buy a new one just yet.
