Default Leaky radiator connection

I had to move a steam radiator in order to paint the room. Now it leaks at
the connection point to the radiator valve. I've tried cranking it tight,
but some water still comes through.

I plan to take the radiator off again to reposition the radiator a bit
closer to the valve. Other than that, should I try teflon tape? How about
pipe dope?

John
