Teflon tape should be applied no more than a few wraps. Make sure to keep the tape away from the first thread so itdoes not get into the line. We use teflon tape and paste (in the fitting when installing fire sprinkler systems (yes, we test and flush).
The biggest PITA is plastic pipe. PVC requires a special compound not teflon tape.
We use LACO brand compounds.
