Re: Sealing the helium valve

In Response To: Sealing the helium valve ()

: Has anyone considered (semi)permanently sealing
: the helium escape valve. Mine is always
: coming open of its own accord

Instead of doing something foolish like gluing it shut, you need to address the problem of why it opens when it is not supposed to. You are the only person who has reported this happening, so likely you are not closing them correctly.

If closed correctly and not fiddled with, then they should never open accidentally.
