Plastic fins too.

Good for them, making At first glance I thought it was ass spray.

I doubt you'll get other reviews, these footpockets are new on the market. They do accept all standard blades the same way omer footpockets do. I don't know anything about Mako blades.

Will it float the carbon tube, muzzle, bands, handle, and trigger mech?

Does it need to be exposed to air to dry? If you're pouring into a tube how does the first/bottom part dry? How long does it take?

If I didn't mix the right amount and have to top it up afterwards, will the new material adhere well to the one I poured first?

If I filled a speargun tube with it do you still recommend plugs at both ends to prevent any chance of rot?

Does PolyWood expand like the two part foam? If so how soon after mixing?

There are four products there. Maybe Chad can say which one is ideal.

Right.

Could you please give me the procuct number or a direct link to the exact material that is best for this application? Is there mixing of two or more different parts involved?

Thanks for sharing, I've been curious about what you were using for a couple of years now. So to understand clearly; for a simple application like filling a tube for the purposes of a little added rigidity, eliminating any space for water intrusion, and as a means to anchor something with screws, you use a pour in version of this material? Is it too expensive to fill a float the size of a lifeguard float?

Thanks. What was the plug made of?

Chad, how did you fill the tube but leave space for the muzzle to slide in?

Quote from Marco

I don´t think the kill spike is necessary (in my modest opinion).

This Saturday diving out of Homestead with Frank and Alan, Alan shot a jack and had a shark go after the fish. If he had a spike he could have defended his catch. He didn't and so had no way to keep the shark away from the speared fish on the bottom, and the shark took the fish. The fish somehow got away and I saw it crippled but swimming. I grabbed this fish by the tail and then I was harassed by a pesky nurse shark. This nurse shark was not the shark that came at Alan but he was persistent, coming up right to the surface, at one point I was looking away and he nudged me like a dog looking for a treat. I poked him hard near the gill area and then he gave me some distance. But I hadn't fired my gun, if I did I still could've poked him with my spike. Alan didn't have a spike.

The saltwater just loosens things up a bit and allows you to blow it out.

Damn, you cruised right by definitions #1, #2, and #3 <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

Can't imagine what that would be. On the Islands they give very straight forward nicknames. He's probably the only white guy in that village. I have a friend from Trinidad, he's of Indian descent but is quite dark, his nickname from the island is "blacks".

If either of us were living there we'd be white boy too.

Sizing.

37-39
41-43
44-45 Actual size 42-44 (10-11)
46-48

The Nemo footpockets will work well in combination with a softer blade bumping it up in stiffness half a level or so because the bottom of the footpocket is nice and stiff and doesn't allow the back of the blade to poke through it. The tendons are slightly stiffer than omer or H Dessault. The actual footpocket isn't too hard and I find it comfortable. I'm foot size 11.25 and the 44-45 size fits me well allowing me to dive with Lycra socks.

Good stuff. Your post prompted me to write this http://spearfishing.world/divi…problems-quick-fixes.html

I used to run into equalizing problems in one ear or the other at some point of every diving day. I've gotten pretty good at avoiding and quick fixing equalization problems. I'm sure there are factors particular to every individual but these are a few simple things that are working well for me.

#1 and most important; as I'm swimming on the surface and start to feel a little pressure/stuffiness in the nose or sinuses, to resist the urge to blow air out of my nose into the mask. Instead stop and slide the mask up onto your forehead and blow hard out each nostril separately and then together. Also hock as many loogies as you can muster. If this is done conscientiously I can avoid equalization problems.

#2. Once there is a blockage and I can't equalize I go back up and do #1.

#3. If #1 doesn't work to remove the blockage, inhale a little seawater through the nose and do #1 again. It burns a little but it's worth it.

Other things that I've done in the past are tilting my head sideways and pressing it as hard as I can against the shoulder on the side of the ear that I'm having trouble with. I've also heard about putting the jaw through an wide range of motion. The first three methods I listed however have been working for me flawlessly without having to consider other options.
