I've got two dogs and I find those little black 'pooper scoop' bags excellent for covering up he components - just the right size and you can tie it off with the handles too lol!!

There isnt to much to worry about on getting wet on the 182 lump.

Use as little water as possible and keep it away from anything that looks like getting it wet would be unhealthy!

sorry to hijack your thread, but could anyone make a mark on his picture where the coilpack is located?

Thanks
