Milspec, lol. Doesn't that normally equal as cheap as they can get away with? There is a high-density thread sealing PTFE tape that works a bit better than the el' cheapo generic white stuff (although it's usually white too). Anything marked as such should be sufficient unless you are working on an oil rig or nuclear reactor. EDIT: Unless the package has MIL-T-27730 on the tape, labeling it milspec has no meaning.

> Milspec, lol. Doesn't that normally equal as cheap as they can get away with? It means a product meets stringent requirements that can't be cheated on.

>Milspec, lol. Yes, MilSpec [0]. >Doesn't that normally equal as cheap as they can get away with? No, wrong. You're thinking of "military grade", which is effectively meaningless as a term. >There is a high-density thread sealing PTFE tape that works a bit better than the el' cheapo generic white stuff This is what I was alluding to. It's thicker and denser. >EDIT: Unless the package has MIL-T-27730 on the tape, labeling it milspec has no meaning. This is where you're wrong. Milspec has a specific meaning [0].
