Hi guys
I have a BSP type fitting that connects the rad to the valve. This joint is a leaky bugger, and PTFE tape won't cut it. I am going to use some jointing compound with the PTFE tape and have some questions:
1. do I apply the compound first, and then wrap the PTFE tape over it, or is it the other way round?
2. How much compound should I apply?
3. What is the max times you would wrap PTFE around a joint?
I am using fernox LS-X.
