Ripped DC bag

[unitedcases]

Emptied my DC tonight and somehow managed to rip the bottom. Anyone know of how to get one fast without going thru grizzly. It's the 2 hp model, G1029Z2P.

I used Gorilla tape on my plastic bag. It worked so well I just left the bag with the tape on it for several successive bag emptying. Just have to make sure the bag is VERY clean and dry before applying the tape.

I've never had a tear in my plastic DC bag but every so often there will be a small puncture that shows up. Have had very good results with minimal work with 'liquid electrical tape', usually in a small container much like the common 'contact cement' that has a brush attached to the lid. Just wipe the dust off the outside and dab on a coat or two and you're good to go.

Would work well if used like we used to patch bike inner tubes.

I have some 3 inch green military duct tape. And some splined shipping tape. I think I will give that combo a go. Probably seal with the duct tape then wrap around once with the spline tape. Then of course order 2 new bags or this trash can skirt if I can find it.

Wood Craft has them

I was looking for something quick, like running to sears and back up and running. The duct tape worked. The stuff is so sticky I could barely get it off the roll. Plus I ordered a 10 pack of bags and pleated filter setup for the top. I put that off too long. Do you guys reuse the bags usually or just throw them away as they get full?

Go to an RV store and get some awning repair tape. It is clear, ~3" Wide, thick and sticky. Clean both sides and put a patch on each side.

I use contractor's bags. They are cheap and strong. One use, no repairs. They are opaque, not clear, but you can feel when they are full enough to change. TIP, use spring clamps to hold the bag and strap when installing new bags. It sure makes it easy. Also, I installed a custom American Fabric Filter bag on rop and the results were incredible. My 2 hp collector now gets the really fine dust and has a tremendously improved air flow.

I used the dust collected around the yard and gardens. Must watch where and what you use as some are herbicides. I reuse as long as I can by taping holes as they come along. I figure it helps keep it out of the landfill a bit longer
