Ok, I'm working on a 100 year old cottage. I'm using both brass fittings and steel piping and PEX. I used teflon tape for all the screw together joints. Tightened them up pretty good too. Seems I have leaking (weeping) at all the teflon tape joints. The PEX stuff looks ok. The old plumbing that came out had some kind of joint putty on them and zero leaks for a long time. Any body care to chime in on my problem?
Would like a recommendation for a good plumbers joint putty. The internet is loaded naturally, but I need info from someone here who knows what works. Got a lot of work held up by this problem....
As always, thanks in advance guys....
