Someone mentioned using silicon. Would teflon tape work to improve seal?

the Only Way Teflon Tape Would Work CorrectY Is If You Threaded Th E Pvc Pipe.

I am not sure, I installed them on the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, and used silicon. It worked out good. If you were to use regular pipe fittings you should be fine with Teflon tape or pipe dope.

I uzed mine on slate and i thi k its some of the best sealer ive used. T is so much more porous. Than slate. I think tbisprouduct may work with multiple. Ooats but obiously try a sample spot or better yet, buy a si gle tile and work it

I used a similar waxless seal...be sure to follow directions on the packaging.

Will likely help gasket seal. Might be able to eliminate gasket with high end silicone.

I believe so, but must be a special Teflon tape designed for that purpose. Only way to insure a perfect seal. It's like a gasket that plugs all the miniscule surface irregularities.

Kirsten, Maybe you could use this "food grade" silicone. AST-RTV 27110 Food Grade White 100% Silicone Adhesive/Sealant/Instant Gasket, 10.3 oz. Cartridge

I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals. It comes in a small container and can be purchased at a local hardware store such as ACE. I would apply it with a finger, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off. This product may help, but using a rag instead of your finger will spread it around more. I use the silicone grease to coat the seals on the outside compartments to keep them from sticking as well. This is a great seal protector and lubricant, but when used with a rag, it's hard to control where it goes. I do use it on a rag for doing the back side of the seal which is in contact on opening the slide. Hope this was helpful. I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals.

I wouldn't . If you don't have a leak then I wouldn't mess with it . Or I would remive the silicone and use the dicor sealant .

I used the plastic seal that was suggested on Amazon, but I am sure a wax seal would work too

For the Screw-in style nipple I used a regular paint type bucket (never used) and an 11/32 inch bit worked perfectly. I did use Teflon tape also as a precaution. If you use PVC you need a 5/16 inch bit and again use Teflon tape for a good seal. Silicone sealant has been used by some people if the tape doesn't give a full seal. Hope this helps.

If the air is leaking around the duct tape, I'd run another strip of duct tape to make the seal wider. The transparent tape is useful for the opening of doors on 3 sides or windows; useful because it cannot be seen. If that is what you seek, then it would work. Air should not be able to get through either!

From the information you have provided, YES! Don't forget some Teflon tape when attaching all of your air fittings etc.

I would use some type of silicone sealant to prevent drips and spills. It's tight, but not a waterproof seal

No, no recommended. It's like any adhesive. If you break the seal, intentional or not, it will not hold.

Just FYI, when tightening the cap, it does not require heavy pressure to seal completely. If you go overboard and screw it down with all your might in the belief it's getting a better seal, it may distort the silicone seal and cause problems. There should be no reason the seal wouldn't outlast the bottle with reasonable handling. If you want to see just how well it seals, fill it up, screw it down just a bit past the initial contact, and shake it as hard as you can muster to see if you can get it to lose a drop. I've even done it with boiling water and it held the pressure with no problems. Pressing the release had the lid pop open, showing how much pressure it was able to hold without any trace of leakage.

this does not have U.S. pipe sizes. I believe they are 20mm which is larger than 1/2" pipe. Therefore it's difficult to get a good seal. Epoxy will work or I've used teflon paste and layers of tape and it worked.

Sure but you may also want to consider plumber's dope. My pecking order is as follows: I first try teflon tape, if that does not work then plumbers dope, then permatex products like the one you are using. The permatex you are using is one of their stronger products for the particular circumstance. As you can see, it is an aviation product.
