    I have a cornerman in my gym and they are getting rid of the sand bags because they are leaking. I need to get new sand bags to hold it down. I thought about maybe getting some pillow cases and tying that around them to hold any sand that leaks. Anyone else have any other ideas?

    Usually but I didn't have the greatest luck with the sand bags. I have it holding my heavybag though.

    The pillow case will tear eventually. I'd suggest goign to the fabric store and getting some industrial fabric. Ask the help there to recommend the right stuff and just sew a bag that will fit around the existing sandbag. Be sure to tell them that you want to stop the leaks so they can get you the right stuff.
