Sounds great

Yeah good stuff. My HEX outlet is not a tapered thread, so the ball valve I have on there always comes loose eventually. This would solve that handily!

Hi all, just digging this thread up as this stuff would be useful for a keggle build I am currently sourcing parts for.

Imparting undesirable flavours is my concern. Has anyone had any experience with it?

I never ended up using it, instead using food grade silicone (FDA approved, $9, via Wallington Rural) compared to $26+ for 12ml from Blackwoods.com.au

Thanks.

Assume you have no issues with taste or leakage when using silicone?
