Default Pneumatic Retracts Question

I know of 3 different ways to ease the installation of pneumatic tubing to other fittings in the system. 1 - Oil 2 - Soapy water and 3 - Heat applied to the tubing.
Which would be the best to result in an air tight installation.
Also while were on the subject, how high of air pressure should the system be able to hold.
I can only get up to about 60 lbs in the system but my old Robart Air Pump is about shot. I was hoping to get it up to 100 but maybe not.
The size of the supply tank (rather small) should not limit the lbs per sq. inch the system can initially be pumped up to could it?
