The slow drying time allows adjustment during assembly but does not suit jobs that require immediate pressure testing. Buyers who need a fast-curing or tape-style sealant should look at something else.
Soft-set formulation
The compound remains pliable after application, permitting disassembly without damaging threads. This characteristic decides whether the product matches the serviceability requirements of the specific piping system.

Questions about this item
Will the soft-set formula work on my existing galvanised steel pipe threads without damaging them?
The soft-set compound seals, lubricates and protects threaded pipe and fittings, so it is compatible with standard galvanised steel threads.
How do I know the seal has cured correctly after assembly?
The slow-drying paste remains workable during assembly and forms a flexible, pressure-tight seal once the joint is pressurised.
Does the 1/4-pint can include an applicator brush or do I need to buy one separately?
The can contains the sealant only; a separate brush or dauber is required for application.
