<DIV>Hi Hank,</DIV>
<DIV>Just a word of caution with that method,</DIV>
<DIV>The HMS Thetis was lost along with 99 persons due to paint clogging a tube</DIV>
<DIV>That was used to check whether there was water in the missile bay.</DIV>

<DIV id=yiv935527872>Hi All,<BR> Very jealous I can't make it to the convention ;-) !! I'm going to have a hard ballast tank which will be approx 21" in diameter by 36" long. I don't really need to access the inside of the tank and I was wondering how I could seal the inside somehow. Some type of epoxy coating. But once I do any welding it will desrtoy any coating. Any ideas ? <BR><BR>Thanks, Brian </DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR><A href="" rel=nofollow>Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A><BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" rel=nofollow
