Thread Sealant Cord
Wind this multifilament cord into the grooves of tapered pipe threads to quickly create a seal. It can be applied to metal pipe up to size 4 NPT and plastic pipe up to size 1 1/2 NPT. The container includes a built-in cutter for fast application. After tightening, pipe can be loosened up to an eighth of a turn without leaking. Sealant meets NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water in systems up to 180° F.

Additives and Reinforcements for Composites
Mix these additives with melted plastic, epoxies, or adhesives to make parts stronger and more wear resistant without adding much weight. You can use them in batches to tackle repairs and small parts instead of machining your part from a sheet, bar, or other shape.
Kevlar
Choose these additives when your application is likely to wear down your finished part—they improve a part’s ability to stand up to corrosion, bangs, bumps, and scrapes. They’re also used to reinforce points where honeycomb cores connect to fabric. To start, mix in 1 part Kevlar to 15 parts composite.
