2. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with non goopy Teflon white tape.
3. It does not desolve in gasoline.
4. It's simple
5. It seals
6. If wound in the correct direction, not over applied and a little space left at bottom of threads, it's the best choice for non goopers. Use it.
7. PTFE (DuPont brand name: teflon) is non soluable in about every substance/chemical/solvent on earth.
8. Goop can get into any place you think teflon tape can get into. Don't finish the "tag end" at the bottom of the thread. Start the wrap several threads up from bottom and wrap upwards away from bottom of threads so as not to shear tape at bottom of threads.
9. Always cut tape with scissors to make a clean non stringy end, on both ends.
10. House plumbing may have a different set of methods/opinions.
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
