I know this is a very old thread but in case someone is looking for the right answer then you need one of these: then you don't need all that messing around with tape etc.

This is good stuff and not as expensive as Locktight.

Past on so that tao is straight. Can be still loose. Give 5 mins and it will be watertight and will not move

Has Bosswhite been improved? I thought at one time you had to use hemp with it, and with hemp it was no good for gas, as porous.

No idea, tbh I only looked it up as I thought you couldn’t use boss white on potable water (seems TP website could be inaccurate), we used to use boss green for this purpose.
