Reply To: Teflon tape any good

[Bob Wight]

I typically use the BRP gasket sealer on all screws and bolts when I reinstall them, but another good option I’ve also used on my bay boat in salt water is a Teflon based pipe thread sealant. I use Oatey Great White pipe thread sealer with PTFE, available at any big box store or plumbing supply house.
