Just a curiosity question from a total novice.
What little pipe work I have had to do I have always preferred teflon tape just because it was less messy --
But the guy at the Orange box recommende joint compound (RectorSeal 5) so I gave it a try.
Pretty much every joint I made with joint compound - leaked - and I went back and used teflon tape -- leak gone.
I am SURE part of the issue is user error --
But -- is one generally considered superior in making leak free connections?
