Appreciate views and opinions on the following simple problem...
Whatever gland seal packing solution I try, none last a year. I've used: string+candle wax, nylon cord+vasoline, PTFE tape, string+PTFE tape and thin rubber strip+silicon grease (not all at the same time!).
The tap shaft is de-chalked, clean and in decent condition (no deep scratches) and the water is low pressure too, so what am I doing wrong? Suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.
