Turkey holes

Plenty of holes appeared in my first fleshed turkey this past weekend. Not sure where they came from - too big for pellets and I certainly did not put them there myself!

Anyway, what is the best way to close them up? Sewing, is there a tape that works... I do need caulk slipping through the seems.

Maybe during the tumbling process? I usually just sew em up.

Just kidding... I know exactly where the holes came from. I am fairly new on the wire wheel and this was my first turkey. The holes are not nearly as big as they could be.

Looks like I will spend some time sewing. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the repies.


I used Zap-gap superglue

It's nice and thick, follow it with kickit and presto hole fixed. Works great and is quicker than sewing.. stronger too because it's getting hold of more area.

What is kickit?


It's a accelerator for superglue...

All super glues are cyanoacrylates, kickit is and accelerator to dry it very quickly. McKenzie carries it under Rinehart's catalog..
