Yes as a matter of fact. There is a lot of wonderful
intellectual property on this group and folks
don't mind sharing.

Idiot, No, folks don't mind sharing. If I tell you it's fine, are you
going to
possibly put your family in harms way? I'm on the side that suspects
it's not fine at all. I think this is a most-idiotic way to answer your
question compared
to visiting the manufacturers web site or reading the appropriate
documentation! I feel bad for your family.

I was going to use a very thin layer around the gasket on my
exhaust line of my swamp cooler, which is giving me a bad time with
a slow leak. My concern was if something toxic got mixed into
the water and then got blown all over the house.

Thank you!

Though of that. Kind of nasty until it cures. And
I do want to be able to remove the exhaust line to
gully drain in the winter.

Plumber's putty is/used to be a mix of raw linseed oil and calcium

It is safe for direct drinking water contact if it contains NSF
certification.

Plumbers putty contains various components some of which may not be
certified for food contact but could be used for things like drain seals
where water is disposed and not consumed.

It is not a dumb question as others have opined.

OP said he wants to use it on the exhaust line of a swamp cooler..

in which case the putty will probably be the safest thing in the water.

If it is in the "water" exit line, then it won't even get into the air.

I'd say you are overthinking this

Just because it's slang doesn't mean you can spell it any way you want. If you don't spell it "yeah" you are

AGree, it's fine for that. At first I couldn't imagine what he was
going to use it for, because "plumbers putty" and "drinking water"
does not compute. But now that we know he drinks his swamp cooler
water, that explains everything.
