Don't think should ignore the bottom 1/3rd. Work on sealing both ends. My logic goes like this:
Take two empty plastic soda bottles. Drill a 1/4 hole in the bottom of one. Take both, bottom's up in to a pail of water...which one fills up first?
When you do a get a bit of water in your mast and your base is sealed...someone should invent a drain plug for the base![/quote]
