replacement of corrugated hose on wing

[tanzer2250]

I am replacing the corugated hose on my wing. I had believed that the power inflator was attached via a tie wrap. When I cut off the tie wrap and removed the power inflator, I noticed that it had a coating of glue (not very strong). Does anyone know what kind of glue to use? should the glue be used at the wing end of the corrugated hose, as well?

I never used glue when I was changing out inflator hoses. Just get the tie wrap on nice and tight.

Agreed. No glue should be necessary.

I believe the "glue" is there as a sealant only (in addition to the minor PITA). I use 2 zip ties with the connectors 180 off. I've never had a problem with leaks.

I had the same experience. Zip ties work good. ALthough I still would use Permatex Ultra Black Hi Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker #598B. This stuff has great holding power as well and still can be removed without a hassle if need be.
