Larry,

Good point. I was very careful to use only one wrap and didn't wrap it all the way to the end of the fitting for exactly that reason. The only reason I used it at all was so I could afford to be a bit more reserved in my tightening torque. You're probably right though, when in doubt, avoid it.
