Is there a handy find around the house substitute? I've heard that
bread balls will work, is that true?


Haven't tried it, seems like it would if you can be quick...

Why not shut off the house and repair the other cutoffs at the same

Bread is the standard. I have only needed it a couple of times,
but it
worked.

Bread balls are the answer. I have used them many times.
