I wouldn't use LSX on rad tales. PTFE or Paste but I don't like paste either. 😛LSX is clear whilst PTFE, well I'm sure you know the rest 🙂
Or loctite 577 for 100% leak free
Still not tried that , went for some the other day and had a heart attack at the price
What is the cure time, it`s not instant.
I have had a couple of tails going into towel tails that I have had to use gas PTFE to get them to seal. But to be honest I think that was the finish on the rad and less to do with the PTFEIsn't lsx just silicone sealant?
Ptfe for me, if it's not sealing with ptfe then the problems with the fittings. Avoid ptfe and oil based joint compound, the compound can attack the tape.
Somebody else has said about the tail with a seal but I have only seen the extensions with a seal. Got a link?And small amount of threads on towel rail also a problem to seal with ptfe tape. Unless the tail has a shoulder to tighten against the towel rail, or the tails with the rubber seal
