Drill a hole in my paddle!

Hi! I have a Black Project paddle that keeps leaking water in and I’m worried of causing damage by keeping on undoing and reglueing the handle over and over to let the water out.

I was thinking about drilling a tiny hole in the handle for drainage and cover it with a silicone cap or gorilla tape.

Good or bad idea???

Contact black project. Drilling a hole is a bad idea. Paddle should not have water intrusion
