Thank you sir. I figured it was something simple like this but on the off-chance it wasn't I didn't want to find out the hard way.ScubaLawyer wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 10:49 pm1. Bend tabs.
2. Dab of silicone sealant on back of tab (not necessary at all but I do it).
3. Insert tabs into slots on exhaust can.
4. Press down on label while bending tabs inward.
5. Go diving!
On the label side or back side fo the tab?simonbeans wrote: ↑Mon Jul 02, 2018 7:22 amI also take a “dull” screwdriver, blade wide enough to cover tab, and , from the back side, tap the screw driver so that the blade makes a crease at the point where I want the bend to be. Sort of like “pre-creasing” the tab. Think of the scoring on a coyrrigated box. They help make the flaps.
