Hello All,

It is time to use my DSS power inflator tool!!! I watched video posted on DSS web
several times. Everything is very well explained (Thanks Tobin).

I am just a little bit confused about the "loctite" to use for power inflator button. Which one would be the most apropriate for this particular application. As a reference I would like to use this link:Loctite Consumer Retail Products | Loctite Catalog

Regards,

Blue thread locker is the more easilly removable one.

All the cartridge valves I've disassembled have remnants of what appears to be red thread locker, but it may not be Loctite Brand.

I'd be surprised if either the green or blue is no adequate. There's no much torque on this part, you just don't want the button to work loose.

I have always used Blue and never had a problem. The Red appears to be the more permanent of the 2.
