I use both the TC tape and I purchase the pink tape from Lowes or Home Depot... it is a lot less expensive than the TC tape...

One thing i do not think I have in my write-up is - after you have applied the tape to the BP - insert it between your thumb and fingers and with the ratchet turn the plug while applying pressure with you fingers to squeeze the tape down into the threads.... When inserting the bp back into the gun turn the plug slowly as not create any friction heat and cause tearing. It should turn in smoothly to a full stop. Last thing take a light and shine down the barrel verify that you have tape all the way around the end of the barrel.

Over-wrapping the nose is key - pat the excess down on the nose even if it covers the flash hole. Popping one cap takes care of that...

Another thing after seeing a TC blackdiamond BP @ Sportsman Whse - i am not sure this method will work with that particular plug... I wish i could have tried it.
