31226 Pipe Joint Compound, 1 oz, Gray

I had problems with a leaking shower head. I tried teflon tape, silicone sealant, nothing worked. This joint compound fixed the problem in seconds. I didn't even have to wait for it to dry (it doesn't actually "dry") - as soon as I screwed the shower head back on it was working perfectly. I haven't had a drip since. It worked so well, I redid the shower in my second bathroom as well (which also leaked, but not as bad). I will never use teflon tape again!

I was disappointed to read on the label that it was not recommended for plastic threads. This was conspicuously absent in the product description.

Works well

I'm a little old school in that I was always taught to use PFTE on the roll. BUT in some un-ideal situations like slightly out of round pipes, worn threads, or who else knows why, I would inevitably run in to a leaky connection on potable water connections. The most recent one was on a toilet shut off that was threaded to copper. I tried three times sealing with PFTE tape only to have it still leak. Removed the tape and this stuff fixed it right up! Highly recommend!

I needed "pipe dope" rated at 1,000PSI to fix a stubborn leak in a Theoben gas ram air rifle. Local pipe joint compound was only rated to 125PSI. Without this product I would not have a functional $1,000 rifle. Applied to schrader valve core threads, then inserted into ram. Waited 24 hours to cure, then pumped up ram to 800PSI. Did not even need to use teflon tape!
