Question:
What causes–and how do you prevent–air bubbles from showing up in liquid filled compasses? Just about every liquid filled compass I have used usually gets a small air bubble in it.
Answer:
First off, Mark, never fear: a small bubble in your compass will not affect its accuracy. Bubbles can form from high elevation or exposure to cold temperatures, which cause the liquid to contract, leaving an air bubble behind. Usually, the bubble will disappear when the compass is returned to sea level and/or room temperature. If it doesn't, place it in a warm spot-like a sunny windowsill-so the liquid can heat, expand, and return to it's normal volume.

Huh? Why are you guys posting to a 4 year old thread?
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

This is interesting. I was killing time, waiting for it to cool off. I bought a brand new compass for my boat. I was thinking about going to replace my broke one. It has no bubble! ![[Linked Image]](http://a66.tinypic.com/287nosh.jpg)

No. Some guy I know was going to cook them for everyone at a get together but his stupid job keeps getting in the way. I'm gonna have to do it myself. I have five in the freezer now.

Have you seen any faded black and white photos of old-timers with rows of huge lizards hanging from the meat pole back in the day?
I hear they used to run 'em with dogs??
