Thanks. Looks good. Wish they would make some in a spray can, self

Locktite makes a penetrating locker but when you have something
apart, a thin coat of Leak Lock on the mating surfaces and all
your problems are solved. I use it on all mechanical connections,
it will even hold screws in place.

So your the idiot that puts that crap on service port caps. :-(



Nope, nope, nope, not me! I use the appropriate sealer in the
appropriate places. I once did a lot of commercial glass work
and automatic door installation and service. That's the sort
of thing Loctite and Nylock nuts were made for. The Leak Lock
for the air fittings on the pneumatic door systems. Those old
Stanley air doors sounded just like the doors on Star Trek, do
you remember those? Just about every grocery store had the damn
things 30-40 years ago. Most of the pneumatic and hydraulic door
operators have been replaced by 90 volt DC drive units. Folks
would be amazed at the technology that goes into those ubiquitous
automatic doors they wander through everyday. 8-)
