the usual snobbery i see.
nothing wrong with PTFE on a buggered olive or even a marginal one. particularly if its a hassle to DD or bung again.
to those saying PTFE isn't needed on new joints, try using the ****e fittings BG are currently using, bet you would PTFE it then.
another minor benefit of PTFE over jointing compounds is PTFE doesn't set solid like some compounds do making it easier to remove in the future. before anyone chimes in with the classic "PTFE looks awful on a joint", if done correctly (one or two wraps on the leading face of the olive) you will never know it's there.
