Dom, forgot to ask you about your DIY CO2 setup. How do you secure the tubing to the bottle cover? Looks like you have some connector...

I think u have to use the sealant to seal the tubing or the small plastic tubing connector which can be bought for 0.10 cents per piece...just drill a hole through the bottle cap and put it through loh...then seal lit off.. just my 2 cents

Ermm... dom, you've tried with elephant glue before? I read somewhere and it suggested to use silicone sealant better. those can be bought at LHS, even some LFS sell them. i used silicone gun with the silicone stick. this may be prove right since we kept open and close the cap many times. the elephant glue might crack and you have co2 escaping. silicone is flexible/rubbery.

Also guys, dont forget to close the cap tightly. i mean TIGHTLY. i put some silicone on the inner side of the cap where the cap meets the bottle mouth (normally the inside is blue color, depends on the bottle brand lar). that's why i have to use big detachable pliers to open it, and to tighten the cap, but not until it breaks.watch out.

Silicone work with if you are using it to glue the glass subject. But dont forget yr cap and the air connector is plastic. Silicone will not work well on it. I tried silicone n super glue. Found super glue is the best. My cap and air connector nvr crack. (unless u can find the glue which they use to glue the arcrylic.)
