I have to use a syringe in some cases. The only critique I could have is, I always thread the inside of my penetrators. I have no idea if it matters, but my theory is, the water has a tougher journey to make going over threads and the epoxy has more surface area to grab. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485184569404_3133" dir="ltr"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" 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 size="2" face="Arial"> On Monday, January 23, 2017 1:08 AM, Alan via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv4967569482"><div><div>Hi Brian,</div><div>I am not an expert, but I use a small gas torch on the heavy stuff. </div><div>Just heat the rod & wire up well first.
