Leaking cooler problem

[BigClay]

So I think this is the right place to post this. I am looking for some tips and tricks to keep one of my large coolers from leaking out of the drain. I have the drain plug in it, but I guess over the years the plastic has constricted so there is not a lot of pressure around it, so water leaks out.

I am thinking about getting a rubber dish glove, cutting out a circle and then pushing that into the hole with the drain plug. Any other tips or tricks?

you can get little rubber freeze plugs or depending on the size a boat drain plug

baby bottle nipple! plug it from the inside

plastic wrap and then put the plug in.

I have one cooler with a wine cork in it. It weeps a little, but not bad

If it is a name brand cooler you can order it online also hinges, latches.
