Subject: Re: EE canister lights
Cryptic, very cryptic. If you are not looking for weight, what
are you looking for?

The canister has a fixed amount of buoyancy as a result of its
displacement. FIlling it with feathers, epoxy or lead will not effect that.
You can make it heavier or lighter, but that displacement and resulting
buoyancy will always be the same. The only way you can take another 4lbs of
you belt is by putting another 4lbs in the canister, and then you'll just
have a heavier canister to lug around ,which you don't seem to want.
