I have used a product for well over 35 years now called " Stag " jointing paste which is used for sealing up steam piping joins on boilers etc with good results always.

I'm in Australia so not sure if STAG is available overseas in the US or not but here it is here on evilbay.

Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin		<p style="text-align: center;">I punched a larger hole in the old freeze plug  to let it drain out , got the old one ot  then  stuck the garden hose in there to flush it out ,,,,,and another one pounded in . I used ultra black permatex on the install and a little on the outside. good to go. Thanks guys ! john</p>
