Hi all,

I've heard that loctite 55 plumbing thread is the business when it comes to getting a watertight seal - so much better than PTFE and so on. I wondered what people thought? I've not used it as I can't find it here (I live in France) however I might get some sent from the UK if it's good stuff. Any thoughts appreciated.

cheers
Rob
 
Rob, I use it and its superb, I have not used PTFE for years now.
 
Yeah I use it too, got my free reel yesterday ! Go on the website and they'll send you one
 
Get the big rolls not the dental floss size ones. As said ptfe is soooo last decade.
 
Love loctite, been a user for 4 months now and never had a leak on it
 
Used to use it every day in the commercial world, agree it`s top stuff & no leaks, infact found most if not all of the Locitite stuff to be good.
 
it works great on screwed joints too, no more stinky boss white and hemp..
 
only come across it in the last 18 months .....find it o.k myself ...regards Turnpin:8:
 
Did anyone find that their free sample was a faulty one or was that just myn?
my one was missing the cutter, was a long time ago now.
As said like everyone else, i also use it all the time.
