dont think ive ever had a threaded joint leak with 55 not sure its as good as tape on unions like traps and tap cons

Ive never used locktite so im curious to see what fols think aswell, when served my time i was never introduced to it so ive never started,

 

[Whyme]

Dogs Knackers good on steel as well as brass. It Locks Tight.

love it, used ptfe before but since tried loctite, not going back. only use ptfe occasionally on old olives

 

[kozak1968]

Good stuff. In a tidy spool. Unlike ptfe which ends up all over the tool bag.

Great stuff I use it for loads of things. I like the liquid ptfe for posh towel rail and cast iron radiator unions. Expensive at £15 a tub though.

Great stuff, the big spools last for ages and can be had cheaply from flea bay. Also nice you can back off quite a bit and not worry about leaks.

Only problem i have with it is that you cant use it on oil

 

[BLOD]

I'm a fan of it too.
I find you can undo the joint a bit if you've overwound it withoput it leaking.

Not something I use on a daily basis but definitely very handy

Great stuff, used it 15yrs or so back, only one problem that I recall and that is you can`t see how much is left in the tub.

 

[Ermintrude]

It's brill use it everyday
