Howdy. Need to change out a sink and started trying to find ways of sealing pipe threads not using all the PTFE products that have taken over that application. No luck finding anything on youtube thus far but the search algo's are what they are now. Anyone made pipe dope from scratch or recommend a product for water pipes that's free of forever chemicals and such? I've found a little to go by here: https://theplumbero.com/how-to-make-a-pipe-dope/  but would love to hear some direct experience. I also saw toothpaste and hair used in a recent Project Kamp video. thanks in advance!


edit: Now that I've posted this I see some similar threads recommended below it. Still not really much in the way of answers but apologies for creating another thread

Just curious, what kind of pipe are you using?

Recommendation make determine pipe used.
