I've calculated all of my buoyancy figures as best I can, but there will be a fair amount of discrepancies due to the freeform nature of my ferro-cement floating ballast structure and trying to figure out the over all volume of the wire/ cement thickness. I may indeed need to use some syntactic foam myself to adjust my balance.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian <BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] syntactic foam<BR>Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 01:38:22 +0000 (UTC)<BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><DIV><SPAN>Pete,</SPAN></DIV><DIV dir="ltr"><SPAN>I like it, and Mrs Piggy is my wife's second </SPAN>favourite character behind Kermit :-) I could paint it lime green. ;-)</DIV><DIV dir="ltr"><BR></DIV><DIV>Hank</DIV> <BR><DIV><BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="display: block;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <DIV dir="ltr"> <FONT face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, November 16, 2015 6:25 PM, Pete Niedermayr via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<BR> </FONT> </DIV> <BR><BR> <DIV>Hank,What are you gonna call her.
