How to fix leak with too much ptfe tape

[Adam davis]

Both Tiny leak on bot new fits on the metal nuts. Did i use too much ptfe tape. I used 2 wrap arounds. The nuts won't tighten anymore. Could i remove the exposed ptfe tape and if so would the nut then continue to tighten and is this a ok thing to do. I should have used 1 wrap around i know now.

2 wraps isn't enough I'm afraid 15 is more like it . Kop
