	just stick the macro line into the macro line fittings, it was designed to just be stuck in.... if you use locktite it might glue it all up.... and cause leaking. Once you stick the line in and screw air into the asa.... the lin might leak just for afew seconds and max around 30 seconds... but youll notice it will die out and stop. So i dont think you should use locktite :), im sure most other people will agree with me when i say using locktite might add the the chances of leaking.

	I guess a better question would be: Why are you thinking about sealing them with loctite?

	im not planning on using it, i was just wondering, since loctite sort of acts the same as teflon tape, it could be used with macroline. Oh, and why would i think they would leak inside?

	Because they do leak inside until they are fully pressurized.

	well, macroline is made to come out of the fittings, thats the wonderful thing bout them, what would the point of them be if you loctited them in there?

	First of all, if macroline is in a position where its to bent, the fitting wont seal well and create a leak... So you have to use teflon or something or change the position of the elbow to stop the leak. And the loctite would be used to create a seal if it worked but i dont know if it works. Its not like loctite is super glue or anything, you could still take it apart.

	The point of a macro line fitting is so you can replace the line incase you get a leak. Use the loctite or teflon tape on the threads, not in the fitting itself. If you are leaking when you first installed it, either you did not press the line all the way into the fitting or your cut is at an angle.
