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

Thanks everyone il give it all a go tomorrow 



In my experience the cause of the leak was ALWAYS the same! It was the infusion mesh flow media!
Any where you have a cut edge in the bag of the flow media is sharp. If you picture it as the sharp edge of a chain link fence you can imagine how easily it will puncture the bag. To solve this problem I simple cut strips of peel ply ( just 2 inches wide) and place them over EVERY single cut line of the flow media! I have NEVER had a leak since and I do a lot of infusion. Before I did this technic I NEVER had a perfectly sealed bag, and I thought it was impossible to have one.
Try it and you will become a believer.
Hope this helps.
