Thanks.. Is boss white a putty type stuff? Do you just put it on and

It is a putty, just put it on and it should seal straight away - or
not.
I just find it seals the thread better than PTFE tape. It's messier to
use, which I guess is why PTFE tends to be preferred.
When I was an apprentice the plumber I was with tried many times to stop a
joint on the cold water tank in the loft leaking using jointing paste. He
was very old school, he was meticulous but was getting a bit flummoxed.
I suggested PTFE tape. It worked. I did not even get a "good idea, well
done" from him. But I did get a dirty look.
