Re: using a light to find leaks

I use both a leak light and feeler (plus blowing/sucking, magnehelic machine). The leak light is problematic with some pads. It is also problematic to see the sides of some pads because of the outer tone hole walls and sometimes keys block your view from other keys.
The leak light is excellent at finding some big leaks very fast, which is how I use it mostly, but not for finidng every leak or doing all adjustments. It's also sometimes good at finding tiny leaks that the feeler can't feel because they are significantly smaller than the width of the feeler.

Although it tears more easily and not so resistant to getting wet, I still prefer rolling papers for feeler in comparison with the other feeler matirials mentioned in this thread, which I've also tried.
