Good thread sealant
What's a good plumbers thread sealant for a 90* elbow (thread) on a Imco manifold. the manifold is aluminum and the elbow is stainless.
It's not exceedingly high temp.......it's a water jacketed exhaust manifold and the 90* elbow attaches to coolant hose....is there such a thing
as a marine teflon tape???

Thats a thread locker too, so might not be what you are looking for. In that case something like this http://www.downwindmarine.com/Permatex-Thread-Sealant-with-PTFE-p-91000994.html
it mentions salt water, has lasted for years on my boat and still comes apart easily. (stir it up good if it's been sitting a long time)
