I'm going to store on monday to buy xchamber, how long will loctite take to dry? i want to play the day i install it...an hour?
It drys almost instantly. they say you should wait but thats for plumbing and stuff like that. I put it on my HPA tank to put on a nipple guard and gased it up right away. Thats more pressure then the tippmann

first locktite makes about 600 different adhesives and all dry differently. For paintball applications most ppl mean the blue or red thread lock which both dry very quickly. Second for what you are doing use the blue or better yet get the locktight sealer instead of thread lock which is designed to seal hp fittings.

I've used both red and blue loctite on my M98 and they both work equally well, but I think red is for permanent fittings and blue is more for fittings that you may mess with in the future.
