Great product to keep in the van, will get you out of a tight spot with those annoying little weeps on compression joints. It seems to work well, even on one joint that couldn't be fully tightened as it was a right-angled joint and had to point the right way. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. We used to refer to it as ‘low confidence paste’ as you’d use it on compression fittings or connections if you didn’t want to risk a leak upon filling up.P302 + P352 IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water/…P332 + P313 If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/ attention. after flushing them under the tap for what seemed like ages the skin on my hands was so sore and inflamed and the pain! Like many things it says avoid contact with skin, but lets be honest it can’t be too bad, it can be used with potable water after all. They mention that it works well to seal numerous leaks in waste water pipes, high pressure systems, and compression joints. I wanted to use some, if suitable to bed and seal a through the hull fitting to the bottom of my mash tun or if there is a better option fire away.

I didn’t find it that easy to work with, but that's inherent in the material - it's not quite as sticky as most glues, but same consistency, and tends to stick to tools or hands. For me though, with LS-X being suitable for potable and hot/cold water thats enough for me to treat it 'essentially' as food safe in in HLTs.

It also sticks to most surfaces, including to PP (polypropylene plastic) - tried other solutions, but none worked as well as this.I happened to notice that there was evidence of a very slight leak at the point where the pipe enters my toilet cistern. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. It sets quite quickly - in low pressure systems, provides a good seal within an hour to few hours, depending how thick. Apply LS-X direct form the tube and mould into shape using a spatula or knife previously dipped into soapy water (to prevent adhesion or dragging). I would suggest using gloves when using it though: it's extremely sticky stuff and soap and water won't touch it.
