Plumber's mait
was suggested to me, as able to seal the impossible. I
spent two days struggling to get a seal on two wash basin drains, I
tried PTFE, Boss White - neither worked, but PM did first try. Its a
none setting sort of mastic, difficult to get it to stay put on the
thing you are trying to seal, it prefers to pull back off on your
fingers
Wet your fingers.
Boss White is linseed putty, just thinner than the glazier's version. Too thin imho.
NT
Boss white was intended to be used with hemp string to seal threaded
joints. It works then.
PTFE tape is miles better.
