Anything better than PTFE/Teflon for high temperatures?
Just go dry or what? High temperature compressor output line... the
hose is bellows with braid over it.
BIG PROBLEM ON THE HORIZON!!! I did exactly what you are talking about
and the temp from the output of the compressor was too high for the
braid covered hose! The hose under the SS braid disintegrated. DON'T
DO IT!
Hi, Tom, thanks for the warning.
This stuff is 300-series stainless on the inside too- no rubber. It's
crinkled like a bellows so it's flexible and braided with stainless
braid on the outside. It's not particularly cheap, but not insane.

Greetings Spehro,
If you want high temp sealant then try this link:

The stuff is 10 bucks a bottle, is sold by Brownells too, and is good
enough that your stainless hose will be glowing red when the max temp
of this stuff is reached.
