loctite requires cleaning and drying and all sorts of crap. however if ya gotta leak on ur gun or a screw loose, just wrap that stuff on and your good to go. its as simple as that. replace once a year and theres no problem. i guess if ya wanna seal something that your not planning on screwing with on a regular basis loctite would be the way to go, but still its always a good idea to carry teflon tape with ya

It's all about the teflon tape. It's much less hastle and a quick and easy fix to a leaky fitting.

I use blue loctite on all conections other than the fittings that go directly into the valve and the flatline. I use tape for those.

People say loctite works better, but i have NEVER had a problem with Teflon Tape.

BOTH, i use loctite on my more perminent connections(elbows like on the valve and such), and tape on the less(hose itself)

545.

I never use teflon unless I don't have time for the loctite to dry. Answer: Do your tech work the night before.

Teflon tape, besides not being as good a solution, can destroy the 'noid in electros.

I only use teflon tape. It is really easy to use, and you don't have to wait for it to dry if you're at the feild.

I've never had a problem with it.

We use blue loctite on all air fittings....
Not sure if it is the best thing to use but it seems to keep the white crap out of the innerds

I prefer locktite, any strengh except the highest on air fittings. I hate teflon tape because it looks bad, puts debris in your solenod (if your lucky enough to have one) and an mess up other fittings. telfon is also a pain in the butt to get off fittings when you take them off.
Use locktite, it is the best.
