How much dope?!?

Just how much pipe dope and how much teflon tape and how many blood vessels do I have to burst tightening the threaded connections on a water heater before they will seal up?!?

Tom, assuming you're connecting galvanized or copper fittings, two to three wraps (clockwise)of tape on the threads should do it. If you wrap it the other way (counter closkwise)on the threads, it won't seal.
