I've been told that the tape/dope doesn't really
seal, it just helps lubricate the threads &
allows you to screw tighter (& dismantle
easier) the parts. Since any hydraulic parts I
work with seem to be bubbling with oil, there
is pretty good lubrication on the threads
already....

Then, I've been told that you can cause lots of
problems with loose tape or dope floating
through you hyd system if you are not _very_
careful. So, it's best to just totally skip all such
products entirely, and tighten down well.

Don't know if that is right, but that is what
various people who work on tractors have told
me when I asked.
