[AT] Teflon tape hydraulic system??

[Cecil Bearden]

With the chinese fittings we are stuck with now, teflon tape is 
necessary.  I use a brand called Blue Monster for Hydraulics.   I used 
paste for years as tape was not recommended for hydraulics. It got to 
where paste would still leak.  The threads were bad enough to need tape...
