Recently fitted a new vertical towel radiator in the bathroom.

Its supplied with chrome 90 deg elbows with parallel threads and parallel threads in radiator.

Because of the positions of the shut taps connectors and the radiator offset, the angles do not allow the elbows to be tightly sealed in the radiator. Tried thread tape, so much is needed to seal from leaks but is still loose.

Old days used 'Red Stag' and tried 'Boss Supergreen' which find it too dry to stick to the threads.

So whats the next best to use.
