used tarp to find a leak.

I had to remember my refrigeration instructor's word from 2003 that he used to use blanket or tarp to find leaks outdoors.I had to find this leak at my third attempt in two months.And I bought a piece of tarp from HM DPT.It worked.The problem was every time i was checking for this leak I suspected the condensor coil,and I couldn't go by the oil stain because of so much soap residues,and could not find a day without any breeze.So the tarp worked.(I threw the tarp over the condensor coil to block wind.)Because of the unhooked discharge line strap the manifold had a small crack.:D

I use this bed sheet method' http://refrig.com/bigblumanual7.html, it works...
The whole leak detection manual is a long read but it is still the best. I have never found anything else as complete or comprehensive.
