    Garbage Disposal Hole in side
    I just discovered a small hole (about the size of a pencil eraser) in the side of my garbage disposal and it is leaking. Is there something I can plug the hole with until I can have it replaced. Thank you.

    You can try JB Weld or a similar product but figure on replacing the unit.
    TIP: If you replace get the same make and model. Then you may use the old drain assembly and simply snap the new unit in place. Good luck, Tom
