Members dirkba Posted March 1, 2018 Members Report Posted March 1, 2018 Hi, Any one tried making these wine bags...or rather restore it? I can't seem to find any suppliers for the thick poly linings used in more recent bags. If you have other bright ideas to wine proof the inside, without giving the wine an after taste let me know!

bikermutt07 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 I would like to say Tandy had a kit for those??? Sorry, I've never done one. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Members motocouture Posted March 5, 2018 Members Report Posted March 5, 2018 Just thinking, what about recycling a bag from one of those boxes of wine (‘cask wine’) with the spigot? I’m guessing you might be able to reshape the bag using heat to weld the seams. Or could maybe use a camelback water reservoir? Quote

That might cause a problem with a split seam down the track.

I've tried this with a 1,5 litre bag, but shaping it to the wine bag and sealing with a home sealer did not work. So I just stuck it inside the bag...the creases formed by a too big wine box bag held some wine back after use which oxidised and "contaminated" new wine added to the bag. So I have to replace the inner or seal the Bota bag. Maybe just buy a new one and use the old leather for another project... Quote

Ah well, hopefully you at least got to consume some wine in the process! 21 hours ago, Rockoboy said: A Camelbak is made for the job. As for "remodelling" a goon bag?
