Permanently seal gbb mags

Is there any way to permanently seal a we 30 round gbb mag i dont see a point if haveing the side come apart when any parts that have to be replaced from time to time because the valve gets unscrewed at the bottom and the pressure valve gets un screwed at the top. I was just wondering if there was any way to seal it permanently.

Cement? Not super glue, the gray stuff they make buildings out with.

MIghty putty? That shit works on every thing!

Buy Gen 2 Propane mags?

Buy Co2 caplet mags? <--- I chose this one personally.

I suggest contacting Danther. He uses something called Hondabond which seems to be magic.

Valves break. Permanent seals can break and leak. Your compound to seal can have adverse effects when mixed with liquid propane, silicone oil as well as the dramatic temperature changes.

Gasket maker is a better option. Do it right and you never need to open them again. If by chance you need to, it's a lot easier to break the seal and clean.

Last mags I sealed up I used a hylomar Blue gasket goo on the original seal. Back together and charged with propane within 5 min. Still holding seal good and easy to split if it starts leaking

Canadian Tire automotive section.Look for "Blue Gasket Maker" . Comes in a tube for $5-8

z0ng uses the black stuff, but from experience, the black is a pain to clean.

Permanently sealed are like 100% safe websites : a myth, not matter what you do you will always need to maintain them, same goes for anything tech related in the universe.

I've been using a silicone softener to soften the black gasketmaker, then removing the remnants with a wire brush tip on a dremel. Gotten great results, though I've seriously contemplated JB Welding the entire thing shut.

If they are 2piece like the newer WE mags you could weld them together.

I used to use Hondabond but have since switched to good old fashion grease. Works like a charm and easy to clean up.
