my lok soks fit on, but the bottom one is very loose. i can slip it on and of very easily. i have wrapped a few layers of duct tape around the tank, but the lok soks are still loose.

I am not using an AIR brand tank. Could this be the cuase of my problem?

that might be it, maybe it's a 44 or 43 ci which makes it just slightly smaller, well i would glue it if it were me probably, maybe one of those glue's made for paper, so it wont damage anything for sure and can come off easy if need be

well its made for the 68, and i have a 68 tank. i might put some clear glue one, but the lok soks are also clear, and you will still be able to see the glue.

hmm put them on the edges, harder to spot then, and yea the advertised size might be 68 but maybe it's rounded off and is infact a 67.5 ci, just a thought, why else wouldnt it be fitting

What kinda shape are the sok-loks in? If they are old then maybe they just stretched...

Think that we found the problem. You could find some way to secure them, or get new ones. There are some good tips above if you decide to stick with the old ones...

actaully what i just did, is fold duct tape in half and wrap it around the bottom of my tank, before it starts sloping. so basically i made a thin layer of white double-stick tape. the lok-soks are very secure now. i can't slide them at all
