Re: Putting standard can back on
As I expected the joint leaks quite a lot as the standard can has a lot of back pressure so Ive ordered some thin gasket paper which I hope will seal under the clamp....

Re: Putting standard can back on
It does the job. Smells for a short time when it first heats up but works

Re: Putting standard can back on
Just thought I would mention. If you use this tape treat it with respect as the edges are sharp and even more so when off the roll and it's easy to cut yourself :O

This shouldn't be an issue, unless... ...someone has butchered the job of cutting the original can off. The gap should be no wider than a hacksaw blade and the reconnection sleeves seal fine in this case. |

Re: Putting standard can back on
I threw away the original can I chopped off and have had to buy another second hand which of course wasnt cut in exactly the same place. The gasket paper seems to have done a good job but it still needs testing.....
