Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.
Pressure cooker lids , dont they have a rubber seal ??
Flute Sight glass seals , is anything added or is it just a glass to metal fit ?
Swing clamp flanges , are these just metal to metal or is a gasket used ?
I read about dangers if escaping vapour and also using plastics ,then wonder how you actualy get that good seal in these 3 areas
I use PTFE tape on my sightglasses...about 4 wraps around the edge works perfect .
I also use PTFE tape wrapped around a cork gasket under the lid of my boiler,...again, works perfect.
teflon has got to be one (if not the most) inert plastics known. ...i'm not worried about using it at all.
hope that helps
