I'm picturing the goggles, chest protector, ear muffs, nomex gloves, and put the mattress against the window.....
So, how hard was it to handle your tool with those 7mm gloves on?

7mm? i had a set of 3mm over my 5mm... you know, safety never takes a break!
just got back from the shop...tank filled.
told the new AI (female):
me: I just did the dumbest thing ever!
AI: (without missing a beat) ummm...of course you did....you're a man.
me: excellent point! I need not say anything more.

I would have suggested breaking off the yoke knob plastic with a small chisel. Then drill a hole in the stud and insert an easy out on a 2 foot cheater bar. You would of course have been required to video all of this and post it on you tube as a lesson in gullibility.

That's hilarious! You forgot that I should probably open the valve back up!
The video would have begun like this:
There's a guy on scubaboard whose posts have taught me tons. I've always wanted take a formal class with him, but I live too far away from him. So, I glean whatever instruction I can from online. Today he told me to do this. Again, that's Jim Lapenta. L-A-P-E-N-T-A Instructor #1234. Now, where's that chisel?

140 psi at the LP side isn't any different than my air tools on my garage compressor. Just sayin' nothing really to worry about as you found out.

I did this a few month ago. All I did to resolve is to loosen a LP port plug. It will take some force, but it will get loose. Once it get loose by about 1 turn, all pressure will be release. LP plug wont be shoot out.
