[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: pressure test

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
I wouldn't bet on golf balls being resistant to WD40. I would be pretty
sure there would be some deterioration in time. The main thing would
be that you kept any  dissolved contaminants away from the brushes.
Know about golf balls, grew up next to a golf course!

I just want to throw it out there because as a group we come across a lot of interesting stuff.  I need 550 lb buoyancy and new stuff will cost me 10K Canadian.  Scott is thinking I am a lucky bugger  to only spend that amount ;-)   Any leads would be appreciated.
