I use the white stuff too. I also put just a dab of CVA anti sieze on the taped threads........just the way I do it.

I have used teflon tape only - since Underclocked invented it. I really do not like oils and greases that might get shot into the bore. I use both the pink and the white tape depending on the gun and how tight the BP is in the threads.

Just wrap it the correct direction over the nose first and down to the primer well...

Most of us on here use the teflon tape. Cayugad put me onto this when I had my Genesis. Not only is is easy to clean up but it also does a good job at lessening blowback.

Well I am not quite sure just what all the question marks signify but Among the accessories TC sells is a small roll of Teflon tape of the pink thickness, Its what I use on one of my BP.
