Have used this recently and had no problems. But had my first leak on a radiator tail everywhere with it. Well it's shown up leaking after 4 months. Used PTFE for years never and issue. Used the cord for a good few years and never had a issue. Hopefully just a one off maybe I didn't put enough on etc
Loctite 55 cord how good is it

Leaking after 4 months use, erm, I`m thinking somebody been messing.
That's what I originally through. But it was coming from the tail not the valve. If knocked would leak from the valve
When you wrap it around - too many times is there ever a chance of splitting the tail entry section on the rad when you still need to wind it in a bit tighter to meet up with the valve position. ?
I should stop worrying then.
Thanks
If it aint broke .......
How is that string made - to me it looks like normal PTFE tape that has been twisted into a string
Not quite that's why there is a cutter on the container.
You could garrote someone with it!
according to their blurb - Made from a high-strength multifilament polyamide thread impregnated with a non-curing sealing paste - it isn't PTFE
How many times do you need to wrap it around their neck - asking for a friend
Do you use it
Nope - as suggested ..... if it aint broke.
Not taking away from the fact that a lot of people do use it and it is obviously suitable for what it's designed for.
