John, I like RectorSeal #5 for about anything, fluid, gas, whatever, I think Home Depot has it in plumbing now days, else a good plumbing shop. Let it set a day before putting it in hydraulic service. The Loctite thread sealant isn't bad stuff but never really sets. Regular Loctite is always possible as well of course, a bear to get apart later. RectorSeal is "just right." http://www.rectorseal.com/files/212/dsno5.htm John ________________________________ From: John Bange jbange@GMAIL.COM So now that I've wasted everyone's time and you're all looking at your watches saying "cool story, bro", I come to my question: What's the best thread sealant to use in a situation like this? Anyone have a suggestion for something I might use to seal up the threads on the galled, buggered, leaky side? |
