During my basement reno, I discovered a small gas leak at one of the pipe threads in my gas line. Actually I suspected for some time there was a leak in this particular spot, but could never pinpoint it because of the closed ceiling. Now that the ceiling is gone, I have found the problem. So rather than try to take the cheap way out and try to seal it from the outside with epoxy, I am going to take everything apart, reseal it, then put it back. Its 3/4 black pipe.I want to do this once and do it right. What is the best way to seal the threads? I have both pipe dope, and yellow teflon tape for gas.
