Tell it to me straight...Am I a Dope?

Let's say I have to replace a spray body,I twist it out with the Channelocks,see that it was installed with a nipple.I coat the female threads of the new body with some Rectorseal(just the right amount),then spin it back down.No muss,no fuss.

In an open hole,I use tape.It's the "Use No Dope" thing that bothers me.

Should I watch my back?

Where, exactly, are you still buying dope? That you can buy thread SEALANT, or TFE PASTE, I have no doubt, BUT I will repeat (one more time, from the cheap seats for the pups who have no clue), that I don't think you can actually buy PIPE DOPE anymore.
Yes you ca. Home Depot has it.
Post a link. They sell nothing in the store you can't buy on-line. You can take offense at this point if you want to, but I still say what your buying is NOT pipe dope. It will either be a modern thread sealant or teflon paste.
i dont take offense. I am not going to argue with the ingredience of pipe dope. hahah But i bought pipe dope at home depot and used it when i installed my new kitchen. It says pipe dope right on it.
