I'd use thread tape on the flange to seal if it was mine. ;-)

Loctite make a pipe fitting sealant thats a "liquid teflon replacement" for thread tape/ptfe tape
Loctite 567 pipe sealant, I think its number is , and from memory its a food safe product , I have used it over the years, and find it a better product for a permanent joint, and can be cleaned off if its a temp. joint (a bit of fukin about though)

yes but if I had some sort of seal at the seat of the crox then the thread wouldn't be so important , I was thinking some sort of of 50mm ring but I don't know much about what products are safe with ethanol vapor . sealing the thread wont seal the joint the vapor would simple just piss passed the nut . :oops: Oh hang on do you mean thread tape or sealant on the crox flange

Judging by your grass, I would probably get two not one, then by Christmas it would be fat enough. ;-)

yeah ya need about half a dozen then so the kids don't get attached . Fell for that shit last time with Karly the wonder sheep that was addicted to tobacco , and thought she was a dog . No she didn't try licking she balls , but she would bark at strangers sometimes nip em on the calf or ankle flog there smokes and beer , chase cats and blue with other dogs along with all the other shit associated with raising pups :doh: . Come to think of it the fat c#nt can just stay where she is
