Hey Folks,

Posted a new batch of vids on YouTube regarding how to make a duckbill for the 1955 ear Healthways SCUBA regulator.

The technique works well but you really need to use that iron a lot to get a good set on the rubber. Granted you might be able to purchase a one inch wide DB in the states and cut it down, but come on, look where I am at. LOL

Thanks, Russ

The creativity and inventiveness of the folks in the double hose community never ceases to amaze me :D

Thank you for sharing it with us...... Takes a long time to video and even longer to edit!
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB
