I'm havin trouble with my first infusion where iv got a tiny air leak sumwhere and I can't find it.
Iv even ripped the bag off it and started again making sure to be carefull sticking it dwn to the gum but still the same 
my question is 
Is there a certain way to not get leaks or should I just get a ultra sonic detector
Thanks

Have to agree with Fred, the white plastic infusion mesh is a paint to get to form to a mould and the edges punctured the bag. I went for a short time wrapping the edges in masking tape until I started using a different mesh and not had any problems since

Just one thing I want to add here. There is nothing wrong with easycomposites flow media mesh. You just need to put a small strip of peelply over every cut before you bag. It only takes seconds and you are sure to have a prefect seal. Why take the chance. 
Hope this helps.
