What material did you use when you replaced the pouches?  Leather,
I hope.  How did you resize the bleeds and why?

If you used leather then try sealing the leather with rubber cement.
If you used zephyr skin then be prepared to replace them in five or
so years because bugs will eat the zephyr skin.

My guess is the bleeds are now too large and need to be reduced in
size.
