I should be doing my sacrificial alcohol cleaning run tomorrow afternoon, which i'll keep the foreshots from and test it overnight...if it does have a similar result, I was thinking that a silicon seal well wrapped in PTFE tape should be okay? I mean the compounds/vapours don't absorb into it, so it would be like an everlasting gasket (that last for fuck all), but with a silicone base inside for the flexibility...
