Still mostly bodybuilding Member 501, 10465 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250 620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq	I drilled a series of small holes around the bung then kept hammering until the bung fell into the barrel.

Member 996, 87 posts	After my horrendous experience on the kegs last week Ive sourced some kegs this week and filled em, I even had a 'key' from the brewery that didnt open these kegs, they are a pain in the arse. The key did release alot of the air pressure in side them, but wouldnt open em. What Ive done to fill them is using an angle grinder put a 4 inch ''slit'' in the top, just long enough to get water in, put them under a tap, fill em up, bear in mind the 22 gallon keg took half an hour or so to fill up. Once filled up I used a metal filler to just seal the top, it cost 5.99 and sets like concrete, its called Stevens bridger. Please note I know someones gonna come on and tell me cutting holes in kegs is dangerous, but its worked a treat for me, Ive got a set of kegs for 5.99!!

Took me around 20 mins to drill the holes and smash the hole big enough to fill full of cement. Then another 10-15 mins to fill with cement and then job done. Left it to set overnight and mine weighs 110kg now.

Conan likes to listen to music Member 1155, 3461 posts SQ 150, BP 110, DL 210 470.0 kgs @ 88.8kgs UnEq	Try driling a series of holes then using a jig saw to cut a small piece out. Then like Tom did use so sort of body filler to stick piece back in and seal it up. Might work

Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5 790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq	Cut a 4" square hold around the bung with a grinder then fill it with sand and cement.
