As a jointing compound Fernox LS-X is unbeatable. Used LS-X on all my compression joints and radiator threads works a treat. Just squeeze on from the tube it sticks where it is put and avoids any sort of mess. All joints 100% sealed. Any excess is easily wiped of with a tissue for a clean finish. I would not recommend for sealing leaks, as it advises in the leaflet that is in the box, Araldite multi-purpose putty is better for that.

I fitted a water pressure reducing valve and there was a slight drip from one of the connections. I remade the joint with PTFE tape but it still dripped. I tried PTFE paste, but that did not work. Bought the Fernox LS-S and it stopped dripping.

I bought this to seal a leaking PVC waste pipe and it was very effective and easy to use. Only downside was that some of the contents had cured when I went to use it again a few months later, so I could only apply by cutting open the tube below the section that had 'solidified'. Effectively I got two applications from the tube, the rest was wasted.

Although designed mainly for plumbing fittings, It is really good for airlines and small pneumatic fittings and can also be used as a slow setting "locktite" on nuts and bolts, and some bearings, the sort of thing that's always useful on the shelf.

This was suggested on a YouTube clip as something you could use in conjunction with PTFE tape on plumbing joints. I bought some and used it when fitting a new 3-way diverter valve in my heating system. It seems to work well, even on one joint that couldn't be fully tightened as it was a right-angled joint and had to point the right way. I would suggest using gloves when using it though: it's extremely sticky stuff and soap and water won't touch it.
