Default plumbers putty for leaky threaded joint?

If the leak is slow enough (i.e. not a lot of pressure) it may indeed
work just fine. I have repaired a cracked PVC trap and an aluminum
gutter with similiar products, both of which had a fairly steady drip.
The trap repair lasted for many, many years until I replaced the sink.
(The gutter was replaced soon after the repair.)



If it leaks at all, the pressure will equal the water pressure, until the patch
fails.
