Pretty simple really. I had a nagging leak in my suit that I just couldn't
find. 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.....
