This the blank?

Just clean up the oring and shove a little grease on it. Be grand.

If you're worried pop another oring in but there shouldn't be an issue if the oring isnt damaged

Not particularly, it looks fine really.

I used some instant gasket with a metal blank, working on the assumption that it will never need removing and I don't want it to ever leak, could just give it a good clean up and do the same?

I have no instant gasket, I just dont want to have buy any more stuff right now so thats why I was wondering about this 😄

Grease will be fine as Louis said, don't over tighten the plastic bung as I have read they break easily.

But Zach, seriously.... a tube of instant gasket is like a fundamental tool box accessory, I think I read somewhere that your basically not a man unless you have a screw driver (which you use as a chisel), an over sized club hammer, a Milwaukee impact driver and a tube of Loctite instant gasket.

Next you'll be telling us that you don't do your daily moisturise with LM grease and that your house doesn't perpetually stink of WD40. What is this forum coming to.

Well I do have a bottle of standard loctite, its not designed very well so you waste loads, I normally just say screw it and put more loctite on and then waste the rest. Have I redeemed my self? 😄
