      Black - if its a paste, that means its a mixture of solids (particles) and liquids.

      The fact it never dries probably means it has a solvent in it as well, which would technically be bad to any orings you happen to get it on.

      Chunks of paste won't blow through your gun. Drops of liquid will

        Never had any such problems, first apply it above the lead
        thread, so that nothing can get into the air flow.(this applies to tape as well)
        second it never dries out so I don't think it has solvents
        (who's effect has been overstated once or twice)

        third I have both mag and matrix it would take a huge lump
        of stuff (that doesn't exist in the first place) to choke a
        mag valve and the itty bitty solenoid on the matrix can pass more than you would think.

        tape on the other hand can and does cause problems if incorrectly used.

          blackVCG - The real question is: Does 592 taste as good as 545? Seriously has anyone tasted loctite? You wont be disappointed

              Check with your local pro shop they should carry the mini .02 oz 545 packets. 545 is far superior to teflon and it doesn't degrade over time. The best thing with 545 is to let it sit without airing it for a day. It is a sealant so if you air it up prematurely, you will get air bubbles in the sealant and it won't harden properly. We use 545 on all of the air fittings like hoses, qd's, 90's, etc.

              Ok I've talked long enough

                *sigh*

                Thordic- Don't knock it when you haven't used it. I have 545 and 592. I've used them both many times. The fact of the matter is I won't use 545 on my personal equipment ever again. The 592 is so viscous and there are no large solid particles so it's not going to send little chunks through your valve.
