Default Teflon tape: male end inaccessible

Hi,

I have removed a jet from my shower system to clean out some debris.
Now I have a hard time putting it back on. The reason is that the jet
has "female threads" while the male threads on the pipe are so deeply
recessed into the tile that it is impossible to wrap teflon tape
around it. How would one solve a problem like that? Is there a "brush-
on" teflon tape alternative?


Teflon tape _is_ the alternative. The original, and many still think
best, is the brushable pipe dope.
