I made my block off plate and tapped it for 1/4 npt. I used the tape type thread sealant. I'm worried that I should used something else. IF it leaks, then it will be a pain to get to. Should I used some type of loctite sealant instead of the thread tape?
I think Home Depot carries it. It's sort of the standard in the natural gas industry. It's always supposed to stay moist, and after a year on my turbo water fittings, it was still wet.
I made the mistake of using it on an oil pressure sender, the thread tape just broke down and it started leaking. Used some Stag jointing compound and it has been fine since.
Very strong but messy. Also has to be done correctly the first time as this stuff is near impossble to break free. i used this to seal the fittings on my oil cooler, and patch a gas leak before.

Wear nitrile gloves when using this stuff; it doesn't wash off your fingers, it wears off over time! BTDT
