Pipe dope on plastic threads

Does pipe dope work when the pipes are galvanized on plastic? I have a
plastic connector that needs to go on old galvanized for a temporary repair
and I was wondering if pipe dope would seal the galvanized pipe threads
sufficiently if the female end was plastic.
I've used it for stubborn pvc to pvc connections to stop a drip. Just
make sure the dope you are using is safe for pvc. I think PTFE is the
stuff safe for plastic, read the label.
