I have twice tried to repair a compass (with a licensed person

buying a new one. It seems to be a very difficult science and the odds
of leaking are very, very high after an OH.

Perhaps this is compass brand/model dependent? $12 for the kit and 15 minutes
of my time and the unit hasn't leaked a single drop in almost a week?

Do that 3 times in 2 weeks and pay $80/hr for an hour each time.
