Subject: Re: bits & pieces
Answers ( since you asked about WKPP ):

 1) wingnuts should never be a problem - I do not get this one. I use
teflon washers to make them easier to get off - you are doing somethig
real weird here.

 2) do not use gators - my suit fits properly, and I like to be able to
put gas back their when I want to, although I used to use them for swim
diving.

 3) I use bags, but I use the simple ones, and I use a spool - never use
a reel on a liftbag.

 4) The fins arre perfect do not screw with them - they hold water so
you can wash off your drysuit feet and other sand when you get to your
vehicle. Stop thinking so hard.
