Good presentation. You are the first guy to acknowledge the value of the silicone "grease". While NOT a lube for metal parts it's terrific on o-rings and other types of sealing items. I've used it for many years in my job to seal against pressure and vacuums and figured it might be great for somethings on air guns. It can also lube plastic parts that a real oil might mess up. Get some and us it sparingly . As they used to say " a little dab will do you". No need to slobber it on anything.

[@ripingpuma2460]

Silicone grease is used in airsoft guns to lube metal gears. seems to work on metal parts for me.

[@alexj.talladino6685]

I remember that "Little dab"that did me. It was called (Brylcream) , a good smelling not so greasy goop for the hair. Hell , I bet that would work now that ya mention it. !

Although this video is several years old, I had this issue with a Co2 Airgun. (2022) Used the silicone "gel" I use for plumbing (O-Rings) let it sit on the seal for 3-4 days, loaded in a cartridge and NO LEAKS!!!!! Thank You so much for this fix!

[@007philly007]

I own a BW1911 R2 CO2 , thanks for the tips. The grease did the job for me ! ( problem was massive leak of gas ). Great video, keep it up !

[@shanezhou3259]

I bought my first air gun from this guy and he tought me the same strategy for maintenance. Very helpful person and passion business.

[@kawld316]

Chiinnature, thank you so very much for the idea about using silicon grease. I used the end of a toothpick to carefully apply silicon grease to the two quad seals and quad seal retainers in the valve assembly of my old Crosman 357. It worked great. I went from getting 30 shots per CO2 cartridge to 60 shots! I was about to throw the gun away before trying your idea. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@tradmanmike3360]

Great video! I was struggling with my Crossman 2240 Carbine conversion. First cartridge stuck horrible. let it alone two years. Put new cartridge in it twice. Cocked it, pulled the trigger just to have all the gas leak out. Thumbs up!!!!

[@GereDJ2]

When recommending grease and/or oil it's important to make the distinction between silicone and petroleum based lubricants. Petroleum based lubricants tend to eat away at seals eventually causing a leak, rather than preventing them.

[@scottthompson823]

I really enjoyed your video, far superior to others that I watched.

[@Chiinnature]

Scott ThompsonThompson Thank you!!!

[@pbmaster77]

7:13 its super thick, super slick, will stick.. this guy is great man

[@harrycordell7769]

Are there any air gun pistols that do not have this problem.

[@Folskyfied]

Everything need care and love, with right use snd cate they can last pretty long

[@MrTtmich]

Your explanations are based on science and they are helpful! Using the hair dryer to dry the oil, the seal would be warmed up and expanded to seal better is a great explanation!

[@mercster]

I know this is an older video, but I wanted to let you know... it's very helpful. I just got a Umarex air pistol and I will be using a lot of this information. Thank you.

[@bckoester]

Thank you, great fix and you are very entertaining. Another good thing about silicone is that it doesn't attract dirt and dust like petroleum lubricants.

[@Antonismi]

Because it's thick so thick so slick it will stick :D:D:D

Thank you so much for the information, I have now lost two magazines to gas leak and just thought the mags had broke but no

[@MrKevin486]

This was extremely good video. Just got my first co2 pistol, and want to keep it in good condition. Thanks from Canada!

[@UltimateFade]

instead of teflon tape you can use liquid o-ring and put a tiny layer on top of your co2 cartridge. and that "WILL" fix the leak tested and worked.

[@richardgonzales4815]

Where do You find liquid O ring?

[@davidebortolato2914]

[@danieldavid3160]

Many thanks for your useful and important presentation. Since I have two new pistols, and have great problems with the co2 gas capsels, I am very grateful for your advise. Thank you again!

[@SonnetGomes]

These are some great tips. I was able to resolve the slow leaking issue on my BB gun. Thank you so much..

[@billtrebing8655]

Very cool tricks. I have a P38 leaking and will try all the above until I get it fixed. Good job brother.

[@jfrtbikgkdhjbeep9974]

if one tape application doesnt do it .. try two layers .. good luck

[@rickylakemusic]

Fixed it!!! Followed your simple advice. Mine was free and no workt. The valve was stuck. I sprayed LUBRICANT NOT WD40 and it worked well after a few resets and resprays. Works like a new one now. Thanks dude!

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks, particularly the way to use a hair dryer or low-power heat gun to soften the seals and help the grease soak in and do its job.

[@gunnerboyful]

I like the silicone grease treatment

[@stevespanos75]

Love your video. Very good to know that all these applications can help the age old problem of sealing properly with simple items. You may just have solved my problem. I used to leave the un-spent cylinder locked in for long periods of time without any lubricants. That has now changed. Thank you.

[@jimmybryce6276]

Thank you for this advice. I used the silicon grease..and worked....before I seen this video..I looked at buying a the seal itself...but was shocked to find it was more expensive than buying the full mag... I've ordered another mag.. for a beretta m9a3..I'd advise all not to mess about with tape...just get the silicon grease... once again thank you. Job well done..

[@armstronggeorge1533]

He seems to know his stuff ,I'm going to give it a try .

[@ocayaro]

Great video, full of energy.

[@nivesh250]

The easiest way is to just put in a simple o ring. No more leaking problem fixed. U welcome!!

[@chrisevans4006]

Im new to this stuff, got the Beretta PX4 Storm Co2 and love it. Worked excellently for the first 7 or 8 cartridges then started leaking. I never gave any thought to lubricating the seal, so thanks. I’ll see if that helps.

[@biggusdickus5986]

Always pelgun oil co2 bulb, and NEVER leave it in longer than the shooting session. I learned this to my cost. Since using pelgun oil every bulb and removing immediately after shooting l have had no problems

[@bleikrsound6127]

Tip - cut a slingshot band (flat type) slightly larger than the c02 tip, which will loosely stick to the tip with oil applied. After the first c02 makes a seal, you should be able to use quite a few before having to change out the rubber. Retail slingshot rubber is probably the highest quality available.

[@dudestyle01]

Best video I've seen on this, tried the plumbers tape before and it didn't fix the leak on my Makarov... Silicone grease worked a treat though, Pistol now shoots 'A.O.K.' Cheers dude ;-)

[@observantservant2135]

My hammer block seal was toasted, unscrewed it out slightly, and dabbed it silicone on the threads and reset it. Works great again also

[@Chiinnature]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bolgartopper2791]

Where are subtitles? I want to translate this to Bulgarian, and later to Russian and Hungarian. I am impressed that your trick works so that even the official dealer of silicon lube in Bulgaria is interested. Also many-many BB gun owners.

[@luisvelasco8931]

Sir, you have a great personality! Thank you for the instructional video! Keep doing what your doing you just helped alot of people, you rule!!!

[@drengskap]

Silicone grease is also available from plumbing supply stores and you can bet it's a lot cheaper than going to an airgun supplier. It's very good for all O-rings and seals.

[@elmo1639]

I Also heard somebody say that the plastic disc you find on the inside of a cap from a coke bottle(a plastic bottle) can be cut just a little bigger than the tip of the c02 canister and provide the same function. I haven't tried it, just repeating something I heard. Nice vid. 👍good stuff. Very experienced content & thanks for the tips.

The Silicone Grease looks like my silicone Teflon mix grease. And i think you could use a o-ring too. Regards Thomas

[@Wuqz]

currently trying with teflon grease and teflon tape.. hopefully it works. this is a brand new mag ffs

[@ALPHAPRINTSLA]

When he said "this is the lube i use" I lost it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@MegaDmoney01]

There's a better way!! Over time the cartridge turns to the right when you put in a new one and it turns the nipple screw in and eventually it won't seal!! All you have to do is screw the nipple screw out or turn it to the left about a half a turn and then from now on you need to hold the cartridge from turning when you put a new one in that's all there is to it so you might want to make a new video, UPDATE it works short term for a few minutes, I will update again later

[@biggusdickus5986]

I have noted your tip for use in the future, thank you.

[@jrbrayjr2003]

I had given up on fixing my leaky CO2 magazines until I saw this video. I sprayed airsoft silicon lubricant into the magazine and waited a while. Once I installed a new CO2 cartridge, the leak was sealed. This saved me the cost of buying another magazine.

[@seewaage]

Thanks! Just putting a dab of oil on the CO2 cartridge fixed my leak. Appreciate the video!

[@rjnmex]

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I forgot about teflon tape! Fingers crossed.

[@jfrtbikgkdhjbeep9974]

.. no teflon ,, just get some decent quality electrical tape .. same modus 😁👌

[@randyland1000]

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I soaked the seal in silicone grease for a few days and used a hair dryer. It has sealed so far.

[@howardlichtman1150]

The seals are of neoprene. They don't expand from the solvents in the lubricant. The lubricant does allow parts to slip around the seal, rather than pinching and damaging the seal.

[@alexanderrotshield3256]

Very good tips thank you very much i have not tried silicon loop but will try and say my opinion

[@Motorsports_3]

Does ur revolver spit out the rest if the air from the barrel when the power is low?

[@LightForGod7]

Lol the end was funny! Would like to see him playing a match of airsoft. I think it would be cool.

[@cinedux]

Another tip. Since the 1960's I've been putting a dab of Vaseline on the head of a Powerlet prior to inserting it in a gun .Seems to work.Some of my guns still have their original seals.Thanks for very interesting postings ;-)

[@rg6569]

Vaseline is a petroleum based product and over time this WILL endanger the lives of ALL your seals. Most people do not understand that seals each have a different purpose, thus their design, however seals made yesterday require a certain amount of sufla to retain their specific qualities/performance/texture...todays WILL ALWAYS WORK BEST WITH 100% SILICONE, that's right I said it SILCONE. This MARS' gift to ALL warriors. 2 RULES IN LIFE....1 IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO..DO NOTHING AND LET YOUR MIND CATCH UP.

Damn, already put a bunch of gun oil on my new P320 M17. Hopefully I didn't ruin it because not only do I have silicone spray, I also have a bunch of silicone grease. When I empty this CO2 I'll be sure to spray it with the silicone and then later use the grease.

[@Hunter_Kennedy1]

This video really helped. Wish manufacturers would find a way to prevent this because it seems like this happens to every mag way too soon for litterly everyone. That's way to often for s problem like this to be happening

[@cecilkent4887]

Thats cause im sure they oil or grease the seals but once they box they could sit for days or weeks or even months befor some buys them then u thinking since new mag should be fine use you run 1 or 2 and oil dry up i was always oil seal and co2 tip even new ones it works silicon oil prefect and cheapest got mine for 3.00

The silicone grease method worked for me , I have had the Walther P99 RAM with the de cocking button for about eight or nine years it always leaked I think it has only fire about 30 shots since I bought it , and I was about to put it in the trash when I seen this video , so I tried this grease SILVERHOOK water proof Silicone Grease Operating Temperature -30 C to +180 C smeared it over the top of the CO2 capsule put the capsule in till it pierced it then tightened it more then backed it off about half a turn still leaking a bit , I then dry fired it ten times , and to my surprise the leak stopped . Maybe because this grease operates at such a low temperature the CO2 won't affect it as much.

[@joebob7483]

Chiinature, I have an airsoft revolver that I've had for a while and I accidentally left a cartridge in the gun for a day or two. My gun now leaks a lot of Co2 everytime I put in a new cartridge and I'm left with only a little air left which greatly reduces the number of shots and power of my gun. I know you addressed this in your video, but which fix would you use? I can't easily get the seal out since it's attached to the main part of the gun. Would the silicon grease fix the problem even if the valve is pushed back a bit? (Not entirely sure what the problem is yet.) Thanks in advance!

Pro tip, if the hair drier heating the seal doesn't appear to be working, use a propane torch instead.
