PVC threaded pipe sealant
What is being used these days for sealing pvc pipe threads?
I have used teflon tape or silicone caulking in the past with good results, but I see where the instructions on my Sequence Dart pump recommends using Teflon pipe dope (the white paste). Which works best?

The teflon paste is just like the tape when it hardens, i used to use it at work a lot because it was faster than taping. Works well on some super high pressure fittings, should be no problem for a low pressure system. I used tape on all my dart fittings and have no leaks from the fittings. The shaft seal... well that's my project this weekend.
