I just replaced the neck seal and boots on my drysuit. I've got some
leftover glue in the bottom of a 4oz can, and I'd like to pack it and
some patches in my saveadive kit, but when I do everything smells like
MEK. That stuff is pretty toxic.
What's the best way to pack glue?
Also, I'm about to take a deep air class. I've been practicing
getting narced, so I figure I'll be ready. I hear it gets dark down
there.
Thanks!

For that deep air class, just breathe in lots of that MEK and you will be
just fine. It works for Jammer, it works for Scott, who can argue with
results.

Depends upon where you are... In Cozumel, it was rather bright (even with my
tunnel vision) at 180 ft... In Lake Travis, it was pretty much pitch black
and cold at 50 ft... I've been to other places where it was pitch black at
30 ft... If you want to practice getting narced without having to go so
deep, switch to an oxy-argon mixture... Something like twice the narc or
half the depth or something like that...

THe place for deep air training is Hal Watts's 40 Fathom Grotto in
Ocala. It's 240 ft deep and they are pros at doing it on air. It is dark
and spooky, and you may come upon a manequin or 2 in a death pose.

Seems to me you have all been sniffing MEK

Oh goody, that's all I need. Narced & dark, then a db. Remind me to
take a leak and a crap first.

Just be sure to work up to is slowly, so you can build up your
tolerance.

Y'know, it's really disheartening when I pose a serious question
(that's the MEK one for all the little fishies) and get no answers.
But put one little hook in the water, and everyone jumps right in the
boat. My skills are prodigious.

It's because we're all rich, and don't store old glue. We just buy new
glue. All the tubes in my kit are new, and rolled between the thighs of
virgins. Or something.

Introduce us to all the ones you know.
Swabbie.
Those "ladies" you met in Olongapo weren't virgins, no matter what her
brother told you.
