anal leakage

Post by cdd »

Is it ok to use 100% PTFE to stop a leak? I don't feel like sending back to RMA because I'm going to do modifications in the future anyway.

Teflon has passed muster here and is fine to use.

Teflon is ok but that silicone hose that's in the pic is not safe for alcohol of any kind. Silicone is only ok for water. So if that hose is in contact with alcohol or alcohol vapor it needs to go

That hose is not and will not be in contact with vapors or alcohols of any type, so it can stay right where it is.
