Rob-

I glued some small rubber 4 inch diameter (10 cm) disks to the bottom =
of my tanks to keep them from getting scratched. But recently on a =
long boat ride I a bolt sticking out of the tank rack on the bottom =
fucked up the galvanization pretty bad. Oh, well.

I would recommend to you that you send a message to =
techdiver-request@terra.net with the subject Help. You will then =
receive complete instructions on how to access the archives. You can =
then do a text search for "trimix" and "rebreather" and receive the =
full array of messages covering these subjects, of which there are =
many.

You will also get a bunch of messages on "stokes", "goobers", and =
"assholes", but just take them for their entertainment value, and =
weed through them for the good stuff. As a matter of fact, just do a =
search for "stroke" and get all the info on what not to do whilst =
underwater plus some great entertainment.
