I just broke down my doubles (PST). I made about a dozen dives in salt water two months ago as well as fresh water dives during the year using the doubles. The exterior of the tanks looked fine until I took the bands off. A white powdery substance marks the location where the bands touched the tanks. This substance is caked on the bands as well.
1. Do I need to do a better rinse job in the future or is this normal?
2. Should I remove the white powder off the tanks and bands before I reassemble them?
