Tried using that new high-temp thread sealant on a boiler feed line, and it basically turned to dust after a week. | Boilermakers - The Community Guide
Yikes, that's rough. I've had the exact opposite happen, honestly. Used the white Permatex high temp stuff on a steam line years ago and it's still holding. You sure it was rated for the actual service temperature? Some of those "high temp" labels are pretty optimistic.
