It looks and feels like snot, and it does not dry ever, and does not blow out. This is not a glue, but more of a gasket that remains tacky and liquid, but will restrain very high pressures.
Adding Nylog to a connection that does not require a sealant is harmless, and will ensure you have the best and most long lasting seal possible.
I have been able to re-use crush washers because of Nylog with no leaks.
On my current new copper piping the Nylog even held pressure with just a hand tightening of the flare nuts, something that could never ever happen without it.
I highly recommend using this product on your pipe fittings.
There are two types, Red and Blue. I use the Red for this application.
It is also "food safe" and used in the refrigeration industry on large units.
I do not work for or represent the brand, but just sharing good info.
I got mine on Ebay for about $9. thanks
