I have an older righting bag. It's a big one. Made by Cat Righter. I tied it recently in a practice situation. It seems the water just pours out the seams. Quickly. Can I fix this? There are no holes. It appears to be in good shape. Can I seal the seams? What would I use? Paraffin wax...Tent seam sealer???.

Thanks Matt. That's what I'll do. Is this a regular problem?
