I use the white tape (5 turns) on water pipes and the yellow gas tape (3 turns) on gas pipe (black iron), etc. I usually run the threads first with a die to make sure they are clean.
Make sure you wrap it the correct direction, so that the tail is in the direction of the direction of rotation, so it doesn't bunch up. Also, cut the tape with a knife or scissors, instead of tearing it.
