Sooner or later, Teflon tape will come back to bite you in the rear
end.

When you thread a fitting with tape into a coupling, little bits of
tape get cut off, taken down stream where they will find an orifice
and plug it.

Then you're putting too much on and in the wrong place.

Ever notice that rolls of teflon tape disappear? Like pencils?
