I don't use teflon tape much anymore. I use teflon-bearing pipe dope
instead. Stuff just plain works. - GWE

Oatey makes a teflon-filled dope in a squeeze tube that's not so messy as a
can and swab.

The stuff is the tits for hydraulic work, and any air work with
flow-limiting valves that might get gummed up with a loose hair of teflon
tape.
