Thirty years ago I was a big fan of teflon tape. I was jammed up for

Amen!

I don't recall the brand name but I like to use "teflon filled" pipe dope.
The nice thing about the teflon is that it lubricates the pipe and make it
easily to tighten but dope definitely seals better than tape.


The dope I suggested RectorSeal is teflon filled

RectorSeal® T PLUS 2
