I know there has been many threads of CPF discussing which silicone grease to use on the threads of the expensive flashlights. However, I have never heard anyone mention using plumber's thread sealing tape instead of silicone grease.
I currently use RyeMetal Hydroseal Thread Lube. It works great, however it does get messy over time because it is a paste. I got the idea the other day when I replaced the shower head in the bathroom, my dad told me to use Dorf PTFE Thread Sealing Tape on the threads to make it waterproof and easier to tighten the head.
I want to ask if anyone else uses any sort of plumber's thread tape on their flashlights and if it will ruin the threads on my aluminium (Inova X5t) or nitrolon (SF G2) flashlights.
Regards
Jeff
