What are y'all using to seal up your pipe fittings on your WMO filtering rigs? I used regular teflon tape, which worked good at first, but now the WMO is eating the tape and I am getting lots of leaks. Wondering what kind of pipe thread sealer y'all are using that can stand up to the WMO?

I use Loctite PST on everything, at work we have two 275 gallon waste oil tanks at work that have valves in them which are sealed with PST and they have not leaked in 18 years. Good luck

I haven't had any trouble with teflon tape yet. If you're using steel/brass pipe/fittings, maybe they have stretched and you need to tighten them up some more. I'm using PVC on all of my stuff and other than the stem seal in one of the PVC ball valves leaking, I haven't had any trouble.
