I had to take out the suction pipe to my Sears shallow well pump, and the previous connection had been done with thread compund instead of teflon tape, so there's a lot of residue of thread compound in the female threads in the plastic pump body. Aside from doing the best I can with a toothbrush, is there any solvent that will help to clean these threads? It's not the white teflon type compound; it's gray. I'd like to use teflon tape when I put in my new pipe. Thanks. Charlie
