Re: Teflon Tape Or Pipe Thread Compound?
I'm not a plumber but when i seal any threaded connection i always put teflon tape and the yelllow Rector Seal the slow drying stuff. I dont know if this accepted practice by licensed plumbers but i almost never have a leaky threaded connection!

Re: Teflon Tape Or Pipe Thread Compound?
Does anyone know how to use a search feature on here, this subject tape or pipe dope, has been talked about too many times.
Use Tape and Pipe dope together. |

Re: Teflon Tape Or Pipe Thread Compound?
If nothing sticks to teflon, how does it stick to the bottom of my egg pan?
Sorry about that, it is a knee jerk reaction when I hear the word teflon...
