% I may be misunderstanding, but when I tested with ceiling tiles

% rest of the facility not allowing for any integrity. Hence, the

	sounds more like a simple miscalulation on space/presure
	to me.  I'm not sure that there is a single answer here.
	Most places I've been in do a single perimeter, seal it,
	and presurize to that volume.  Some places do multiple
	perimeters, seal them, and presurize per volume.  Thats
	a tactic that requires a bit mroe disipline and may not 
	be worth the cost.
