Splatmaster slow leak

I got my splatmaster yesterday, and I'm having trouble getting it to seal properly. I can usually get it to seal for about a minute by cranking on the co2 knob, but it slowly starts to leak, getting faster and faster.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? The 12gram seal looks brand new, and I oiled it up.

Huh, seems to be sealing fine now. Weird.

In my experience with my splatmaster (that never worked), it seemed like you had to tighten the knob just right. Too much and you'd get a leak.

Also, check that the plastic threading that the knob screws into is not stripped, as was the case with mine.

Mine is the same way as far as the knob having to be JUST RIGHT. I have played with it before where it seals for about a game and is gone, and then i've had it to where it sealed all day on one 12g and got about 30 or more good shots. Would teflon on the plastic threads do anything at all for it? Just a thought.

Nah, teflon on the threads wouldn't do anything for a leak since it doesn't seal in the 12gram chamber.

I guess they're just touchy.
