If you can find either the hydraulic sealant or the refrigerant sealant, these are both EXCELLENT and have saved me a lot of grief since I discovered them. There is also a thick white Loctite Pipe Joint Compound with Teflon which is pretty good, but it's a bit harder to use and smells bad and is really made for large crude threaded joints, like 2" and above. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
