Carl, many baluns that work as you describe can be saved, Simply bake
them for as long as it takes at a safe low temp (about 70-75 C) until
bone dry - it could take a day or more dependoing on the size of the
leak. While still warm (not hot) coat it heavily with a good marine
varnish top seal it - several coats.
Could last another sunspot cycle!
Good luck-
