EPOXY RESIN

?

But yeah, that should work. I'd smear JB weld on the threads myself.

EPOXY RESIN is that just a 2 part glue?


and yer it threads on but it moves around a bit

[TurboSuper]

Epoxy is effectively a 2-part glue (and is considerably stronger than most other glues), and would probably be your best bet. JB Weld is the best stuff to use.

If the chamber is moving around that is bad! Use the epoxy. When I did my extinguisher I smeared the pipe fitting and the threads on the extinguisher. No leaks and that dog ain't coming out no how.


O and by the way; we like to use proper grammar. So if you want a little respect on this forum use proper grammar. Please (not plz)! And if you need help use the spellcheck button.

If I were you ,I would have someone weld a reducer on it that has npt threads. You could also try to find a steel or aluminun oxygen tank and have the threads recut so they will be npt or have some welded on..
