Due to a slight 'administrative error' I now have 3 rolls of PTFE
gas tape.

Is this just the same as normal PTFE tape but thicker? OK for
general
plumbing use?

I use it all the time in preference to the thinner stuff for gas,
compressed air and oils. Much easier, you only usually need one or two
turns to make a sound joint.

But recently I've taken to Loctite 542 thread sealant which is
absolutely brilliant stuff - you can assemble threaded fittings finger
tight pointing where you want them, and within minutes you get a sound
seal and good mechanical fixing that can be undone later.
