The paste I've had experience with didn't make me too happy and it was a big name brand company's paste, won't use it again. It still hadn't dried after a month or so and was leaking. I'll stick with the tape, even though it "can clog your solenoids and nozzles." Put it on right and that won't be a problem.

I used liquid teflon, and it worked great.

If teflon paste can not be found you can use red loctite. Just make sure when you put the parts together you tighten properly. Once dried its hard to retighten. Also when its time to pull the parts apart you will a little heat.

instead of red loctite (which is pretty hard to get off) could you use the blue (i think its blue) or whatever color the less-permanent stuff is. would that work okay?

Go to a hardware store, its usually by all the natural gas/plumbing supplies right next to the tape.
