Padawan's LG hanger thread

[namsokiek]

Is there a post somewhere specifying what I need to do exactly with the tape? Where to put it etc.?

make sure you wrap so the tape is tightened as you screw it back on.

I put it on mine and it changed the world. I had been pumping up like a donkey to max pressure and it worked but then a few days ago I decided to see if I was leaking air so I put a bit of Teflon tape on mine and all of a sudden it was taking half the pressure and I hung 9 lbs for almost 1 1/2 hours with no need to stop. I was folding laundry and never realized that I was at that amount of time, just happened to look at my phone.

You just unscrew the quick connect valve from the hanger, wrap teflon tape around the threads and then screw it back in. Plumber's putty would probably work just as well

1h @ 3 pounds @ 7.5 HG

Will be taking the weekend off unfortunately, will look to do a few multiple sets next week (morning and evening) in order to make up for it. Going to move up to 2kg on Monday.

7.5h total​

I've ordered some teflon tape from amazon, it should arrive in a few days

Took the weekend and Monday off, I'll hang some extra sets to make up for the 3h lost. Moved up to 2kg today (was at 3 pounds = 1.36kg), massive difference, but still very comfortable I'll be moving up in 0.5kg increments every week from now on.

Very encouraging sign today by the way, I need to buy a taller chair.

Had to stand up half way through my set because the weights started touching the floor, impressive stretched flaccid length extension.
