Re: leaking cornie
Yes, this is what happened with mine. It held the pressure fine until it was 3/4 empty, and then began leaking. I don't know why, since I didn't touch the regulator. But perhaps the sanitizer I'd sprayed onto the seal had helped it to seal, and this had finally dried out ... or something.Kev888 wrote:It is relatively easy to get a seal initially ... But subsequently maintaining that seal at very low pressure, reliably over time, is a different matter.

Re: leaking cornie
Right, didn't want to kill the KY stuff so just want to add....
Ever since I've used petrogel food grade grease, I've not had a problem. After the good clean, I very lightly grease the three seals, place altogether and put a bit of gas in. On brew day after sanitising and fill with beer I force carb starting about 20 psi to make the lid seal with some good pressure on. Does the trick, and touch wood no problems.
