I've got an Oxycheq 45# wing and after a dive I tend to just unscrew the inflator hose and fill the wing with water that way. Producedure works GREAT for cleaning out the BC, but sucks when it is time to screw the inflator hose back onto the wing. I can count on it taking at least 3-4 (sometimes many more) tries to get the threads lined up. And even then, it feels rough going on.
My concern is that I am starting to wear down the threads on the BC attachmenet for the inflator hose.
Is there some kind of lubricant I am suppose to/or could use to ease the re-assemble.
Does anyone else use this method for cleaning their BC?
Thanks,
Michael
