Phat,

I wonder if the yellow Teflon tape (for natural gas & propane home appliances) would be a better choice than white water pipe Teflon tape. (?)

Or the yellow gas pipe paste may work well too, with no fear of melting when hot, as in Teflon tape.

Possibly, however, I used the white stuff for this, and it seems to have held up just fine. I did test it by holding a lighter under it for a while wrapped arount the stem - the heat didn't seem to to much to the white teflon tape I have. While the stem on a svea of course gets hot, it's not like it gets red hot or anything.. I suppose time will tell.
