As you know<br clear="none">
I tested my Dome to 200 feet. The gasket is well greased<br clear="none">
and after the 200 feet test, there was quite a lot of grease<br clear="none">
squeezed out, so I am assuming it slid a little on the<br clear="none">
gasket. It didn't<br clear="none">
leak. RegardsJames<br clear="none">

Hi Alec,<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Funny you say that, it is 2;30 am an I can t sleep because I<br clear="none">
think my dome needs grease under it.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The sound was like built up tension releasing, very<br clear="none">
frightening! :-0 I thought the EPDM gasket would have<br clear="none">
enough give (slip) maybe not. There is a very big<br clear="none">
temperature change at the bottom. Guess what I am doing<br clear="none">
today.<br clear="none">

Hank, do you have some<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
grease under that dome? I recall Phil saying the<br clear="none">
