How long do I have to wait for the loctite on my gas fittings to dry before i can shoot my new gun?

Do u have to wait for teflon tape to dry, just wondering?

Loctite sets up in less than five minutes. You should let it sit overnite. though, before you use your gun. Teflon tape doesn't "dry." It is tape in a solid form that you can use instantly after applying to your gun. I would reccomend teflon tape over loctite because. Teflon tape is much easier to use, and in my opinion, does a better job of sealing than loctite.

loctite cure time , for the 200 series sealants is 20 minutes , and it is used as much ,if not more to keep screws from working loose , as it is sealing .

T-tape can be used instantly, but is NOT for securing fastners .

What are you using it on, because a gauge or macroline/steel hose you can use teflon tape, and like if your going towards QEV's, or Pnemumitics on a gun go with Locktite.

Locktite, make sure you use Blue, unless u plan on never removing the screw, then use red. Let it sit for about 20-30 mins. But If it is a large thread i reccomend over night.

Teflon- Clean Threads, tape on threads, screw in. No Wait
