Re: [BP] Question about waterproofing products

[Jim Follett]

Bill:    Got to thinking the other day, some of the tunnels we worked on where plastic lined, with welded seams at the pipe joints. A testing company would come in near the end of the project with a tool referred to as a holiday tester to test these seams, extremely high voltage, extremely low current. When the tests where being conducted you did not want to run your hand over a joint, in case there was a bad spot in the seam. No one could ever tell me why the tool being used was called a holiday tester, we assumed it was a trade name. Makes sense know, Thanks.   Jim -----Original Message----- From: Pre-patinated plastic gumby block w/ coin slot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 9:22 AM To: BULLAMANKA-PINHEADS@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU Subject: Re: [BP] Question about waterproofing products Jim-   It's a missed spot. Generally a term used to describe work of half-assed painters. A specialty of the V.I.   V.I.
