Okay, so I recently redid the hose on my At2k and after 1 pump it's fine, after 2 there's a slight leak, and after three there's a very loud hissing. The hose itself isn't leaking, the barbed connection between the hose and the pump is. What do you guys usually use to seal vinyl tubing to pump guns? I had it Gooped on, but the Goop let go.

Picture? It would help a lot. Besides that all I can recommend is using more goop and e-tape wrapped tightly around the spot where you gooped.

If that doesn't work use a tube with a smaller ID and follow the same aforementioned procedures.

I ran into this same problem with my 3k, the e-tape helped, but only the smaller ID tubing fixed the problem.

When speaking about a swallow, always make sure you know whether it is an African or European swallow. It is very important.

Sometimes you just need to rip off the tubeing and start all over this happend to me on my At2k. But i riped it off and stared all over and it fixed the problem.

Use a combination of glues, mostly epoxy and goop, you could use hot glue it's just not that good of a hold.

This same thing happened to me with my Wildfire and Titan. What I did was completely removed the hoses on both ends, used alcohal to remove the dried glue, and then put a good sized layer of superglue over the plastic piece that sticks out that the hose goese over (dont know exactly what to call it). Then I put the hose on and waited a minute or two for the glue to dry, and then screwed the piece back over the hose.

If this makes no sense I will post some pictures, but I hope this helps a little.

I fixed it, I just put a GENEROUS amount of Goop over it to seal it. I'm all good now, but thanks for the help, guys.
