Leaking plastic elbows on Cats

[SunDoo]

Title says it all. The ones that enter the cat at 90* from 1" cooler hose. What would you use as thread sealant/tape before I reinstall. I will be replacing them with brass at a later date but have a camping trip planned in 2 days. Thanks in advance for your replies. Cheers.

See the warning note here on this bakes page. It says do not replace with anything other than the nylon fitting that's on there. It's got your recommended thread sealant listed right below it.

Thanks for the warning! Elbows are in good shape, looks like sealant broke down...love these easy fixes...how many more though on a 900 hr boat...touching wood.

+1 for the thread sealant on the Bakes site. I just revealed all my elbows. Didn't buy the sealant from Bakes but found the same stuff at the local automotive store. Worked great!
