<DIV>Well, nothing I can picture that involves a rubber glove. The only
resins I have worked with have quite an exothermic reaction, so always curious
about other materials. Still, I file away even those ideas that sound a
bit strange. You never know when a situation may arise that fits.</DIV>

<DIV>Epoxy would be Ok Jim,</DIV>

<DIV>Alec,</DIV>
<DIV>Did you take any pictures of the glove or any of the other
"innovations"? Any guesses as to what material they used that
didn't melt the glove while it was setting up and curing?</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Douglas,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Last year I was on vacation and went over to look at a bunch of these
at a dive concession. Yours looks impeccable by comparison. You wouldn't
believe the things they'd jury-rigged! My favorite was a kitchen glove
penetrator. They got a rubber kitchen glove, poked cables out the fingers,
and filled the whole thing with resin. They'd also used kitchen gloves
fingers to make "housings" for switches. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Alec</DIV></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi Scott, thanks! The water temperature was about 72
degrees and the visibility was 3 to 4 feet. Chautauqua lake is fairly
close to us, unfortunately it is not the best waters for diving. The
water is very green with algae and the seaweed is a constant fight until
you get into the deep water. The lake serves well for testing purposes
though.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The only modification we made was a new pressure cap for the motor
housing. This submersible's thruster is not pressure compensated but
instead sealed in a 1-atm container. This is of course fine as long as
you don't have any leaking, which unfortunately we did when we first
purchased the sub. We ended up having to completely remove the motor
from the housing, clean and lubricate the motor and replace the relay.
Then we had to discover the leak point. Fortunately it wasn't the shaft
seal, only the access cap on the housing. We modified a new cap from one
we purchased at a marine supply house and haven't experienced any more
water intrusion since. I'll tell you though, after all this mess I am
much more in favor of pressure compensating than trying to seal a 1-atm
container. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hope you are coming along nicely with Trustworthy. I can't wait to
see her in person at the convention! The photos look very nice, but you
know they can never really speak for the real thing. ~ Douglas S.

<DIV>Awesome Douglas!,</DIV>
<DIV>How was the water? Did you have to do any mods to the submersible

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi folks, hope you are all as excited as I am about
this year's convention, I think it is going to be awesome! Before
the convention I wanted to show you my first ambient submersible
that I purchased on ebay back in '04 so I took her out diving over
the labor day weekend on a check dive. The photos are posted in the
album "SNARK II" under my name on the site. I think you'll find the
last few photos of the album to be quite comical as well!
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have also posted an album called "K-250 then and now" which
features photos of the old K-boat down in Marathon from 1996 as well
as 2013. Interesting what 17 years will do to an exposed sub. ~
