Be sure to use an appropriate glue for your O-ring material! For nitrile, a standard cyanoacrylate superglue will do the trick. My preference here is for Loctite's Power Flex superglue.

What causes O-ring swelling?

Cause: Swell is caused by the ingress of media into the elastomer, as the result of a chemical similarity between the compound and the media. The increased seal volume can lead to gland fill, extrusion and loss of sealing. Chemical swell can also result in a loss of physical properties such as tensile strength.

How tight should O rings be?

To provide an effective seal, the O-ring's inside diameter (I.D.) must be smaller than the piston groove diameter, so that the O-ring is slightly stretched, fitting snugly in the groove. This stretch should be between 1%-5% with 2% as the ideal in most applications. A stretch greater than 5% is not recommended.
