12 hours and still going strong.  It looks like the Tri-Flow did the trick.  I plan to reapply at the 24 hour mark as abracadabra suggested.

My issue with the "too energetic" propellant involves the hole being too small for the tube to enter so I ended up with most of it just spraying all over the place.  Next time I will drill 3/32 holes so I don't have that problem.

My Tri-Flow does not say anything about Teflon.. In fact I don't see any current Tri-Flow products which mention Teflon.  They have something called P.T.F.E. which is considered a hazardous substance.

Here is the Material Safety Data Sheet which lists the contents: [MSDS]

Here is the product info: [Tri-Flow]

[UPDATE] P.T.F.E. (Polytetrafluoroethylene) IS Teflon.  Teflon is a brand name owned by DuPont.  They must have gotten tired of paying to use the name.
