Brilio.net - Nowadays, more and more people are switching to using gas stoves for cooking. Not without reason, gas stoves are very easy to use. Apart from that, gas cylinder fuel is also easy to obtain.
Even so, the ease of use of this gas stove is still often underestimated. Not infrequently, there are leaking gas cylinders that are not paid attention to. Usually this leak is often experienced when the gas cylinder has just been replaced and makes a sound when it is connected to the regulator.
When experiencing this condition, many people choose to patch the gas cylinder or regulator with a number of materials. Starting from rubber bands, used sandals, to plastic. A number of these materials are considered to be able to plug leaks in gas cylinders.
However, instead of patching gas cylinders with this material, there are actually other, more practical methods, you know. A TikTok user @skill.rumahan once shared this further through one of the uploaded videos.

As reported by BrilioFood on Thursday (7/3), the trick used to deal with leaking LPG gas cylinders is to use scissors. Well, basically these scissors will be used to clean dust or dirt that is blocking the mouth of the gas cylinder. If the dust is gone, the gas flow to the regulator will be smoother.
To be clear, first remove the red or rubber seal from the gas cylinder. After that, press the small pin in the middle of the mouth of the gas cylinder using scissors. Make sure you do it carefully and don't press the gas pin for too long so that the gas doesn't run out or hisses even more.
"The goal is to make the dust that is stuck disappear and be clean," explained TikTok @skill.rumahan.

If necessary, you can also replace the use of scissors with a wooden tool, such as a toothpick. After all, toothpicks tend to be safer to use because they can minimize explosions or excessive gas leaks. This was also mentioned by one of the netizens through the video's comments column.
"Use wood, bro, it's safe, " said TikTok @mr.manggo.
