Rich,

When I check the scrubber I simply look at it to see if it has settled and=
 if there is a color change, though after speaking with you about color=
 change I now rely mostly on time which is coming with experience.  I have=
 never seen channeling and hope not to see it in my scrubber.=20

When packing the scrubber I spread it smoothly with my fingers as I go,=
 occasionally tapping the canisters sides while it rest flat on a bench.=
 Then I close the canister and invert it. It should feel solid.  I will also=
 tap the entire canister lightly on the bench when it is closed.  I then=
 open it again and check for settling. =20

Leon was a stickler about a properly packed canister.  There seemed to be=
 two reasons. 2) The cost of replacing the scrubber if it is not properly=
 packed and channeling occurs. 1) To make sure it is packed properly to=
 absorb CO2 as efficiently as its design will allow.

Double tongue was what ever I said the second time I said it in my post the=
 other=20
day. :-)

Mike
