Hey Pat, what the heck is that in the picture you posted? Why post such an incomprehensibly out-of-focus picture?

I just tested to see if the heavy duty bursted at lower pressres than the niormal and it did, quite significantly.
1 layer of normal foil burst at 18psi and one layer of heavy duty foil burst at 13psi.
i dont understand as the heavy duty foil is noticabley thicker yet it burst at lower pressure :?


I must have an explination of this.. I must

The camera simply isn't focusing on your intended subject. She may have autofocus turned off or some such thing. Get a decent picture and repost it.

AH that WAS flat right?
And it became so white and blown up due to the pressure?

You probably zoomed in too far when taking the pic.
Try to put it on "flower mode" to photograph small objects.
Most cameras have that.
