I remember the first time I installed a sprinkler head and read " use no pipe dope" I thought " how did they know it was going to be me installing it"?

So,

Tape + Dope = Everlasting JOY ???

No, nothing needed at all.

Tape + Dope....for anything,ever?

Metal on metal gets tape and dope. Manifold parts I use just tape.
Others may disagree.

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.

You are correct I call it dope (actualy I call it mud) But it is realy teflon thread sealant.
