Bowl of angst

Whoops. That's not good. Back to the tape eh.

Sadly never went there. If I'd started there, I wouldn't be in this predicament.

To its credit, the liquid sealant did a flawless job of sealing! It's really good for gas stuff like regulator gauges and the like.

What did it do?

Get yourself a wire wheel and itl clean those threads up good as new! (or a wire brush)

Oh I've cleaned them. Picked as much as I could off dry, soaked them in hot PBW for about 2 hours, then scratched everything off with a scriber and hit it with a wire brush where possible.

Oh sheesh. I remember when you started that thread. I was meaning to chirp in and ask you to check your tubing etc since I've had had cold side tubing put a plastic taste into a beer - only into the bottles I filled off the tap via the randall. Glad you found the stuff up. Happy days. Hopefully.
