Loctite 55

[robh]

Hi all,

I've heard that loctite 55 plumbing thread is the business when it comes to getting a watertight seal - so much better than PTFE and so on. I wondered what people thought? I've not used it as I can't find it here (I live in France) however I might get some sent from the UK if it's good stuff. Any thoughts appreciated.

cheers
Rob

Get the big rolls not the dental floss size ones. As said ptfe is soooo last decade.
