If the treads are good it is correct that the union doesn't need anything to seal. So maybe you are not screwing it in tight enough since it is a tapered pipe thread that is what is doing the sealing the sealant is mostly an added insurance. I thought of this because you said it was no trouble removing with red loctite on it. That suggested to me that it is not screwed in tight enough. (It should actually take some effort to put it in.) Also your valve may be leaking and it just looks like it is coming out of the juction because it is running along the inside of the power tube to the nearest opening.

it could still be the threads that are leaking it's just coming out the power tube (path of least resistance) or this thread is a total whaste and you need to oil your valve |

do like enos said but i would recomend about 2" of tape if you're having problems sealing. another thing to watch for if you thread the vert adaptor too far into the valve it makes the gap between the vert adaptor and power tube too small and won't fit in the gun. good luck

The liquid Teflon I have does not dry...it stays sticky. Usually one puts it on the threads, tighten them and wipe off the excess. |

Fact of the mater is that tapered pipe threads used in the gas line connections to the ASA and the valve should seal without Teflon or Loc Tite. The threads are tapered so that they fit closer and closer as the parts are screwed together. Teflon tape lubricates the threads so that you may tighten the union far enough to get things to seal. The liquid Teflon dope does a little bit of both...meaning that it lubricates and seals fairly well. Loc Tite is designed to hold things in place and will do some sealing but I have found it less suitable than Teflon tape unless you already have a good fitting threaded connection. |

ugh, liquid teflon is not a glue type sealant. When you remove the
powertube, you need to scrape off all that old loc-tite, then start
fresh by brushing on a little liquid teflon, then let it set up as the
instructions state. You're better off using teflon tape though.

is it cross threaded? if you cross threaded it it will never seal.
