Everyone talks about pipe dope, I have yet to try that, mostly because after
a while my stubborness overcomes reality and after that all rational thought
is blocked. I guess I just don't see what pipe dope would do that 2 tons of
torque on the joint wouldn't. Just kidding really, I do understand that too
much force distorts the threads and probably makes the leak worse.

Switch to Rectorseal #5. I did years ago and will not waste my time
using any other dope.
