> Will try the condom idea It's probably a good one and Condoms as waterproof containers has a long history. I remember, some 50 years ago, reading in "The Silent World", Cousteau's humorous description of using condoms over regular Rayovac type flashlights for underwater dive lights. They wanted to treat them with talcum powder to preserve them from moisture while stored away on his ship and were trying figure out the best way to do this. Of course his wife with typical female practicality came up with the solution, roll them onto broom handles and powder them and then roll them off and store. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Flory, San Jose, CA. daflory_at_pacbell.net ICQ - 64693644 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speak softly and study Aikido, then you won't need a big stick. ©2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Feb 22 2000 - 01:43:28 PST
