Hi, I switched to the glass dome and made some changes to the program. But there is a small air leak and I spent some time going over all the connections inside the box without being able to identify the leak source. I added some RTV silicon glue around several connections for good measure. So I boxed it up and shipped it out to you. Then yesterday I realized one potential leak spot is the brass connector mounted on the glass dome. You will notice the connector has washers intended to seal, but I want you to buy some RTV silicon glue (clear, but any colour will work. I got mine at Canadian Tire), and apply it around the connector and over the washer on the outside of the dome. Do this just before you can test out the pump for suction and turn on the suction. Do this before the glue sets up so the vacuum will try to suck the glue into any crevasse. Only the outside, trying to do the inside will not work.

I trust you had a great Christmas and you should get this by Friday.
