I still get leaks with a chinstrap but its minor and only last for a few seconds. I'm going to tape tonight and chinstrap to see if leaks stop completely.

Wish I had a leak graph that looked like that!

+1 3M Micropore, I use the 3" tape (only way to actually keep leaks down)

To the above poster, why are you even bothering with tape? your leak line looks amazing.

I'm trying to see if I could get a better sleep by eliminating all leaks. Also, less force than chinstraps alone.

I did do this last night but I didn't get any data because I didn't push my memory card all the way in the slot.
