It's like The Magic Roundabout this place. 😉

I've never used anything on compression fittings (although a drop of oil would be good practice) and I'm not looking for a solution to leaky fittings but I'm going to give the Jet Blue a shot. I don't even know why to be honest because it's not like I'll really be able to come back and say - "This gear is amazing, haven't had a leak since I started using it!"

If I get a leak while using it though I'll go all medieval on those who suggested it.

Nothing wrong with making a mistake as long as you learn from it. We've all done something daft in the past.

I have stuck a 32mm core in the wrong place because I didn't draw clear lines.
I once got a woodchip in my eye because I didn't wear safety glasses using a circy saw. Had to pick it out with a knife.
I also forgot to cap off ALL the pipes on a bathroom first fix. Legged it back to stopcock when I heard water gushing from the pipes for thermo mixer shower.

Point is, make a mistake, live and learn!!

Wow a 10 page thread about thread tape on a compression fitting, dunno what's worse this thread or me reading all of it, LOL, a simple answer to all is, each to their own. Can I start a thread, What do you put on your radiator tails?? PTFE, PTFE & Paste?? How many wraps of PTFE??
