Brilio.net - LPG gas is one of the fuels that is often relied on for cooking. Apart from being easy to obtain, a number of types of stoves that are widely sold in Indonesia are also designed with this gas fuel. Therefore, the gas cylinder is an important item that must always be ensured that it is full so that the cooking process can run smoothly.
When the gas runs out, the gas cylinder will be replaced with a new one. However, in some cases, the gas cylinder sometimes leaks and can flow gas smoothly to the stove. This is usually characterized by a hissing sound coming out of the mouth of the gas cylinder.
To overcome this, some people usually replace the red rubber seal or even patch the seal with a rubber band. This is considered to be able to plug gas cylinder leaks, so that the flow is smoother.
Unfortunately, in some cases, this method tends to be less effective and cannot really overcome gas cylinder leaks. As a result, a number of people will use other tricks, as did TikTok user @skill.rumahan. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he only used one sewing tool.

How to use this thread?
The first thing to do is remove the red seal first. After that, wrap the thread into the indentation of the middle of the red seal. Make sure the twist is tight and thick, okay?

If the twist is tight, cut the thread. Then reattach the red seal to the mouth of the gas cylinder as before. After that, install the regulator as usual.

Basically, the thread wrapped around the red seal will plug the gas cylinder leak. Therefore, gas will flow smoothly to the regulator and stove. This of course makes the stove's flame more stable.
