Got pissed enough to take it to one of our local guys who's pretty good with gear and stuff. He couldn't find it either. I was about ready to ship it back to DUI and pay them to fix it. I though I'd try one more time, so I plugged all the openings up, filled the suit as full as it would hold and got a smoke out. I moved the lit smoke about a 1/4 inch above the suit all around where I thought the leak was. All of a sudden the smoke glowed bright and I found a very tiny hole in the shell. It was so small that I had to do the smoke trick again after I walked away to get a marker to mark the spot. Ed's talking about using incense because he doesn't have any Rastafarians around close enough to roll him up a spliff to check his suit with. :-) Welcome back btw..... > > Brad :-) __ Mike Wallace Huntsville,Ala
