Default Sealing stock shocks

As with alot of others I've got leaking stock shocks. I replaced the bladers a few times and they are starting to wear me out. I've done some searching and haven't been able to find an answer. Has anyone tried using pvc thread sealer, like what is used on pvc waterline pipe? I haven't tried it yet cause I'm not wanting to ruin these as funds for new ones isn't available yet. Seems like it should work if there isn't an adverse chemical reaction.

Yes, but it's the o-rings that leak for me, the threaded part of the cartridges are just like Losi shocks and seals great.

Mine are leaking from the top when in compression or just when it is upside down. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
