Natural gas pipe tape
I am running a 5 gallon pot still and I would like to use this to seal the lid as it the only thing that seems to work sealing the vapours

Re: Natural gas pipe tape
Yeah, but my biggest question, or concern, is what makes it yellow?

Re: Natural gas pipe tape
According to wiki
White PTFE is single density, yellow is double and pink is triple . It is often used to correspond to color coded pipelines (US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand: yellow for natural gas, green for oxygen, etc.). These color-codes for thread sealing tape were introduced by Bill Bentley of Unasco Pty Ltd in the 1970s. In the UK, tape is used from coloured reels, e.g. yellow reels for gas, green for potable water.
