[PSUBS-MAILIST] no more leaks

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Alec,
Funny you say that, it is 2;30 am an I can t sleep because I think my dome needs grease under it.   
The sound was like built up tension releasing, very frightening! :-0   I thought the EPDM gasket would have enough give (slip) maybe not. There is a very big temperature change at the bottom.  Guess what I am doing today.

 Hank, do you have some
 grease under that dome? I recall Phil saying the scariest
 thing he's ever experienced was the screech of an
 un-greased dome contracting. 
 
 Best,
 
 Alec

 other hand has some water.  This time the light bar was
 just sealed full of oil.  I think I am not getting all the
 air out, I will try a piece of clear garden hose next.

 have squeezed the gasket and let some tension off the
 retaining straps.  This made a scary sound.  I am doing
 another dive tomorrow, then I am off to do a proper deep
 test.  I am pushing my luck maybe. I am only diving 100
 feet and like Vance says, a shoe box can be sealed to 100
 feet :-)
