Leak Check Solution

[OkieMikeA]

I'm new to PCP shooting. What is the best leak check solution?

CRC Leak Detection aerosol is what I use. Shop around. Prices are all over the map.

I use this. There may be less expensive or homemade options.

Interesting question.

I had a leaking gun. Coming from the Aerospace industry, I'm normally one of those guys that use the same or similar tools at home as I did (retired) at work.

So, I bought some - "Sherlock, Gas and Air Leak Detector" to help me find the leak. What did I end up doing ? I mixed a little dishwasher soap (Dawn) and water, shook it well, (had to wait until the bubbles went away !) and then lightly sprayed at each possible leak point. Starting at the front, and moving to the back. 

Easy wipe to clean and dry. And yes, it showed me exactly where the leak was.

That works!

Even if the soap brings bubbles the leak will make the bubbles bigger and if there are no bubbles from the soap then the leak will make new bubbles.

WinWin or Nyugen Nyugen if you are in Vietnam.

This what I use, I apply it with a dropper, purchased at Lowes.

Always used kids bubble solution diluted 1:1 about. Develops good tension in bubbles, little bit goes long way. Less than a dollar for big bottle.
