Should be fine. I never analyzed my teflon tape and I've never had a problem!

The professionals suggest that I recommend anti-sieze instead.

I used ---- just like that, but my plastic spool was blue, you might want to find the one with blue because teflon likes blue better than black.

you dont need to use the teflon tape on the compression style fittings. But I got leaks without the teflon tape on the pipe thread or whatever the other style fitting is that comes with stealthmodes kit.

P.S. I use thread locker too, but my public relations department suggests anti-sieze.
