Ugh, I applied it to PVC pipe, which made it leak, sigh.


There’s no problem applying it to a threaded connection in PVC. Unless you mean that you’ve figured out a way to apply to a fitting that’s meant to be glued? In that case I commend your abundant creativity.


My experience is that even one wrap of PTFE tape on threaded PVC causes it to loosen and then leak, and it's recommended by youtube/google to not use it. (Some say sealant is ok).
