Moderators BarManBean Posted May 21, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think you misunderstood there, Byron. Pretty sure he was saying to wrap them with tape while grinding / dremeling to protect them. And yes, I did that, just not enough tape I guess!

Moderators BarManBean Posted May 21, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2014 But also, yeah--that's why I wasn't too concerned about the thread "nick" since the seal is due to the angle of the fitting.

Moderators BarManBean Posted May 21, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah, good idea. I mainly put tape over both ends to keep shavings / debris out while I was working, but I should've had more / thicker tape there for protection also.
