How to fix score-marks in Hep2O pipe

In article , Steve writes

I think you are right that the original O-ring seal would be suspect.

Compression sounds the best and the 'liquid PTFE' suggestion sounds good but it needs to be on the pipe and under the olive to help seal the score. To get it there, smear some sealant on the pipe, push on the olive, rotating as you go, push it past the jointing point, smear on a tad more sealant on the pipe then pull the olive back. That should have everything slipped up nicely so make the joint.

Compression fitting and Fernox LS-X round the olive before tightening.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Steve" saying something like:

Compression fitting with some joint gunge round the olive. Bob's yer Man from Bonkle.

Thanks all. Compression fitting + gunge it is.

Doesn't matter, I've found. Sufficient gloop to do the job, but not too much.
