Anyone wrap olives in ptfe ?


No, it shouts of amateur.


Oddly, it was a pro I got the tip from. Long before newsnet.


I prefer to use any other lubricant if it is

It's not acting as a lubricant. More of a sealer.

PTFE should be confined to threads IMHO.


The threads pay no part in sealing a compression fitting.
