Teeny little holes (wire, syringe needle, thin glass shard,

tube across it.
No thanks. I use my hands (palms) to detect air leaks. I don't use
my face because I take blood thinners (Plavix). A small cut takes
about 15 minutes to stop bleeding. I had to give up shaving with a
razor blade and switched to an electric face mower. With a razor, I
would arrive to work with partially dried blood stains in difficult to
explain places. Band-Aids made it look like I had been in a fight.
Liquid bandages and styptic pencils worked, but if I try to wash off
the sealant, it would start bleeding again. After reading about the
horrors of having almost invisible wire hooks (steel belt cord) cuts,
I don't think that using my face to test for air leaks is a good idea.
