Pipe dope also comes in tubes and is about the consistancy of drywall compound. Make sure you get the right kind. There is one kind for plumbing and another for gas pipe. Some kinds will work on both. I just put it on the male threads as Leon stated and I have never had a problem with it. One thing to pay attention to with teflon. Make sure your wrap it counter clockwise since things tighten clockwise. Only time I have had leaks is when I get this backwards. I take it apart and wrap it to other direction.
