   This. Curil T is the don. I use it on everything I can. Never sets hard, easy to clean off. Never had anything leak with it.

   I had to order it from some random internet shop that looks like it was designed in the 90's. Very old school. No online payment processing etc. I'll see if I can find a link, or something more modern ideally. Hold on.

   Thanks just ordered some now. Is it one of those you put it on then half tighten the part then when its fully set tighten to the correct torque?

    No - it never "sets". Just tighten.
