plumbers epoxy putty vs. Plumbers tape

[fishnu]

I have a slow drip on a pressure side line. Anyone have any long term experience with either of the above? I could use the epoxy with coral and rock. I just want to know which holds better for a pipe seal.

I have no experience using those for leaks. But could you turn off the pump for a day or two and use silicone? That is if the problem is above the water line of course.

Plumbers tape will hold it fine and allow a connection you can easily disconnect later.

If it is a threaded PVC connection that is leaking, I would recomend using teflon paste instead of the tape.
