The over-the-shoulder view really works for me. This has got to be the best video on Youtube that demonstrates how to apply thread seal tape.

holy shit, a plumbing channel that's both very informative AND entertaining. what a find!

[damienpeckham]

A much needed video to have here on YouTube! Clear. Concise. Light hearted. If only I'd seen it when I started working with ptfe.. mentors would show me so fast that I was left to work it out.

Not only are you hilarious but this video and your one on replacing an outdoor tap made it easy for me. Soon I'll be doing it on my treadmill. Can't play the drums though. Nevermind!

This is my favourite one of your videos, so far. Funny! But not just that, you have solved the PTFE question that I have been struggling to get my head around - which way to wrap it so the tightening of the nut works with it. Thank you.

I knew nothing about plumbing until today when my garden tap broke (valve) Thanks to your videos I've been able to replace it myself and save some much-needed money on a call out. Thanks for your help.

[andrewaddison]

don't normally comment on you tube clips but like to say thanks for making my life easier. I had never used PTFE before and did it first time like pro. Tap sorted!

2:12 Putting the left thumb on the tape against the tap outside the thread is so helpful to stop the tape sliding around the tap thread.

Very entertaining and best teacher ever! Who would have known there was a wrong way. I'll definitely remember how to do this properly :)
