extruder jamming and leaking solutions and cutting feed tube

· extruder jamming and leaking solutions and cutting feed tube
I too had leaks using the teflon tape that was suggested in the instructions. I took c ernst's advice and bought some of the high temp sealant he tried. Don't know yet if its going to work or not.
In addition to the sealant, I made a fiber washer out of thick paper gasket material from an auto parts store and clamped it between the peek cylinder and the aluminum block. If the sealant doesn't work, I am pretty certain the gasket will work.
Also tried a small countersink in the end of the bowdan tube where it seals against the brass tube.
I am hoping all these measures will keep me leak free.

I will follow up on how it all works out.
