DuPont does not allow teflon tape to be used on their machines that make teflon tape.
It's also banned in the plant where I work.
If teflon tape will do the job, teflon paste will do it as good or better.

BTW be really careful if you ever have to use a torch around PTFE. When it burns one of the byproducts is hydrofluoric acid AKA alien acid. Eats through glass and 316 stainless.
