Loctite 55

View the thread, titled "Loctite 55" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

I'm fascinated by how good this 577 stuff is but as rpm just said I can't really think of a use for it. I use PTFE on everything and have no issues. If something leaks with ptfe it needs redoing not trying something else.
 
I've got some, never used it though. You have to rough up the threads with your pump pliers first according to the instructions, never fancied doing that.

No don't do with pump pliers ... You will need a normal hacksaw blade and scratch the thread so the it gets rough to get a better hold.

Loctite is best stuff , you do not need much and it seals perfectly

You can use it for anything no everything it's good for steel and brass threads ... Good for gas pipes
