[TowerTalk] Conduit tails

[Grant Saviers]

Score today: zero.  Added real PB to "purchased PB baited goo pads".


The "blow them out" is making sense - big air compressor, leaf blower, 
maybe a shop vac at the output end.  Definitely don't want to be around 
the output end.  The turd and flying mouse cloud would make a good 
"fails" utube.

I have a cylinder of CO2, so that is the cheap "gas em" solution if needed.

Wondering what they find so interesting down there besides warmer in the 
winter.  Ideal 77 Plus lube was used for pulling.  The MSDS is totally 
opaque, it has no data.   Do they eat it?

The conduit run is nearly flat. Water doesn't run out but with the other 
conduit I got most of the water out with a shop vac - about 11 gallons 
of condensation.  Another solution perhaps, hose in one end + vac out 
the other.
