Help with band and losing my upper egg
bdmoody
Posts: 1
I need some assistance. I have lost 2 upper egg half’s in 2 weeks. I tightened the band and I still lost it again tonight. Very frustrating. Do I need the new style band. Am I am not tightening it enough?
Any help is appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong.
Thanks

Must not be tight enough. Tighten the band bolts until they bend/deform slightly. It’s a bit unnerving at first, but you won’t brwK the lid. You should be able to visibly see the bolt bend due to tightening. Sorry for you.

Torque wrench is your friend, regardless of the units used. 120 inch pounds is specified in the manuals (for MBGE).think it is the same for all.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -

The second time I've read your post title when scrolling, "Help with band and losing my upper leg"
