I used this for the first time yesterday on a compression that wouldn't seal.

I've got some, never used it though. You have to rough up the threads with your pump pliers first according to the instructions, never fancied doing that.
I had a rad tail extension a couple of weeks ago that was an absolute bugger to seal, I considered the loctite, but ended up with 22 (yes 22!) wraps of PTFE, I went up in 5s from my usual 12 wraps until it held.
I think the thread roughing is to hold the loctite and stop it sliding out as you tighten the fitting. Will have a looksee at the loctite site, I'm sure there's a video.
