In the "Micron Upgrade" @Ronald art mentioned that he would not change the rubber needle seal of the Micron. I've been thinking about changing mine for a while but because I only use waterbased paints and has never had any issues, it was last on my to-do list.
I few months ago I cleaned my Infinity and somehow lost one of its three seals. I tried using it with just two but it does not work. So I bought a new three pack and replaced all three. Then I had the two used ones for spares. After reading Ronald's comment I thought I should give it a go in the Micron.
The H&S one is a fraction bigger than the stock one but it still fits the screw. It gives a bit of resistance without tightening it all the way and that is what you want.
I've been painting for over an hour with it and no leaks what so ever.
The used H&S one is on the left and the stock Micron on the right.
