Admitting, this is a bit of a silly question, since obviously the best way
is to not use tapered thread.
Does anyone have any strong preferences for a 'best' tapered thread
sealant? Teflon tape works pretty well, and epoxy can improve things when
it refuses to stop leaking. I was wondering if there are other sealants out
there that are well-liked. My application is FOD sensitive and needs to be
hydrocarbon compatible. Stainless fitting into an aluminum body.

Thanks,
Lars Osborne
