Methods for manufacturing self sealing chambers by interference fitting barriers within the chambers are provided. A method of substantially sealing a chamber includes providing a die plate through which a channel extends and a compression plate through which a tapered channel extends. The tapered channel includes a first opening and a second opening opposite the first opening. The second opening is equal to or smaller than the chamber opening. The method further includes providing a chamber adapter that has a female portion and a passage extending therethrough, mating the chamber adapter female portion with a compression plate male portion, and associating the chamber with the chamber adapter passage, e.g., by disposing the chamber within the chamber adapter passage. The method further includes disposing a compressible material on the die plate and forming the barrier by pushing a pin through the compressible material into the die plate passage, and pushing the barrier into the first tapered channel opening, through the tapered channel and into the chamber adapter passage via the second tapered channel opening. Lastly, the method further includes pushing the barrier through the chamber adapter passage into the chamber opening.
