Leakage chain reaction?

I don't know if I'm the only victim of this, so I guess I'll post a thread on it. My CPS 1000 and my XP 110, have major leaking issues. But it seems like whenever I seal the leak with epoxy, another area of the pipe springs a leak within a week. So basicly, I'm saying that a water blaster is fine until it gets its first leak. After that, you're doomed to a chain reaction of more leaks until either the entire piping is coated in a nice, thick layer of epoxy, or you buy new piping for it. Or is this just me?

That's not true. Just because the structural integrity has been compromised in one place does not mean it will be compromised in another, unless the first leak was not repaired properly and the crack spreads. The best thing you can do is to have patience and take your time with these things. Disasemble your weapon, fill it up, and pump. Look for air bubbles or small leaks.

People often rush the repair process and don't even pump the gun up while it's disassembled. Take your time. You'll be thankful you did.

Usually the case is that you either missed part of a leak, or there happened to be a smaller leak that you didn't notice ahead of time.

It may help to submerge the internals in water, pump, and see where air bubbles come from. (Positioned so that air gets pumped, not water.)

Further option I can think of is you did a power modifikation, and increased the pressure quite much. The standard material is not strong enough and gives up after a little time.

So any modifications ?
