Re: bags not holding air all night..is it the PTC parts?
I like to put a little simple green and water in a bottle, spray it on and watch the bubbles. Sometimes you just need to tug a little harder on the PTC or re-cut the line.

Re: bags not holding air all night..is it the PTC parts?
I know your going to say why is he telling me this, but be freakin careful when cutting line with a razor. It should be supported on a hard surface, if you want to cut just the line and not your fingers. Not that I have ever done anything dumb like that, just sayin....

Loctite 545 is what I use.
It's pneumatic/hydraulic thread sealant.
