For the past couple of years now I have been using a method to mark my
regulators, bottles. Keep the flames to a minimum, I'm instrested in
constructive input.
Other than the standard Nitrox and O2 labels, I put a 1"x2" piece of
Plexiglas with the mix, MOD, and date of analysis on neck of the
bottle, and second stage side of my regulators. On my O2 (80/20 or
100%) I have a V cut in the Plexiglas large enough (1/2"x1/2") so I
can feel it even with thick gloves on.
Now, my deco always goes on the left, and nitrox always goes on the
right, the way I figure, by ALWAYS feeling that piece of Plexiglas, I
will never get the wrong mix. Then, physically matching the two
pieces of Plexiglas, there won't be a problem of putting the wrong
regulator on the wrong tank.
So what you think. Again, I'm not instrested in being beat over the
head, that will only make my head thicker. I'm instrested in valid
comments, and analysis of this method of marking my tanks/regulators.
