So i was told to use locktite on the bolt so that when it is shot, the bolt doesn't fly off the ram. However there are multiple different grades of Locktite. Does anybody know exactly which locktite to use?

Thanks in advance,

red bottle blue liquid

[Tabris17]

Loctite Blue 242.
Red 242 is high strength loctite, much higher then Blue 242, so don't get the red.

[v8dreaming]

also, do NOT get the green!!! you'll never get it back off.

if you use black locktite (white bottle) you'll need a new bolt.

So blue liquid is the way to go i see. Now its for me to find it.

most hardware stores have them

where would u put loctite on the bolt?

[hopelessandsic]

on the threads that connect the ram to the bolt.

before doing this make sure u have no leeks and the popet o ring is in great shap it should be. because if its the cause of the leak you waste time. id suggest buying the quick disconnect bolt.

but if not then blue is the way to go

You can find this at most Auto Part Stores (Strauss, Pep Boys or your local shop)

This absolutly the way to go. make sure you run air into the bolt before putting the Loktite on to make sure you have no leaks before using the Loktite. This way you can disasemble and fix with out going through the Loktite process again.

Let the Loktite dry for about 20 to 30 minutes before cycling and let it cure/dry overnight before using it in a game/practice/tourney.

Well i live in Canada so i am not sure of any of those stores listed. I have been to walmart, homedepot and canadian tire, all they have is like super bond, so thats why i said, now its time for me to find it.

[hopelessandsic]

i don't use the name brand "loctite" but i do however use the generic loctite (ace hardware has brands like "permatex") Just look for a medium strength generic threadlock if you can't find Brand Name loctite.

Yes Permatex is the other option if you can not find loctite.
If you have a friend who owns a Tippmann ask him for the lil white tube, it has loctite (red) in there.

I've actually used both blue and red Loctite. When mine came from the factory, they had used red. It was a ***** to get off that first time.

I found Permatex Blue 24200. All good i went back to Canadian Tire, because origionally i was only looking for blue locktite. Thanks for the help.
