Mag Leaking

While it was open I decided to fill the hole in the seal between the valve and clip with hot glue. The o-ring on the seal wasn't making a complete seal so I took it off and wrapped the peice with 3 strips of teflon tape and put the oring back on.
I'm going to buy a 1/4" dowel and slide it inside the pump shaft so its stronger because it feel a little flimsy now, especially with the pump handle made for 3 year olds (its 2" long)

And Navy Seal, do you know how I can get to the O-ring on the pump shaft without having to cut it open?

I'm going to try a thick layer of epoxy on the leak.

*EDIT* Plumbers Goop wouldnt work. It is non hardening. You need something that will harden and hold the gun together!

retiate, you should be able to pull the pump out of its tube, the endcap is not glued on.(not the green one on the outside) Why do you need to get to that o-ring. I was talking about the white piece that makes a seal between the bolt and clip.
I'm going to try a thick layer of epoxy on the leak.
I can't pull the pump out of the tube, the thing the O-ring in on gets stuck on the end of the tube because it narrows down. I need to get to the O-ring because I was needing like 60 pumps to get 2 clips off.
Tell me how the Epoxy goes, and if it works, how you did it. Right now I'm going to wait for results from other glue tests before I go and do something to mine.

When it dries I'll post the results.
I'm thinkin that maybe it is supposed to leak so if you pump it up and don't fire it the bladder won't wear out and explode. With this many people having this leak it doesn't seem bad gluing.
