When they got a hole in and went down we used put the poker in the coal fire and the ball in the grate. Then use the hot poker to melt the plastic over where the hole was...wait unti it cooled right down then blow it up with a bicycle pump. "Watch what youre doin' with that poker its not a toy..." till the fateful day that the plassy dripped onto the Kosset fireside rug. My last attempt.

Those Frido balls were the worst to repair if the poker was too hot they just mealted in to a massive holelol
