Teflon tape - where to buy?

Anybody know where I can buy Teflon tape? It's for sealing plumbing joints. I greatly prefer it to putty or other methods. I need it between a pipe valve and the screwed-on hose that goes to my bathroom sink.

Have you left your house at all recently? Any hardware store should have it, or any store that sells faucets/fixtures, etc. They use that stuff by the mile here. They have more uses here for teflon tape than gringos have for duct tape.

thisi is true

I think I checked the one hardware store in town - the store nearest my house - that did not have it. I'll be more careful in the future!

How About This Use For Teflon Tape...

For "Stretching" your body piercing holes"

Teflon tape stretching — The existing jewelry is removed and a thin layer of non-adhesive Teflon tape, which is inert and safe for piercing use, is wrapped around the jewelry. The jewelry is then re-inserted, and as the piercing adapts to the new diameter of jewelry, the process is repeated with the next application of tape being thicker than the previous one. This is done until the fistula has stretched enough to accept new jewelry altogether. It is highly recommended to use jojoba oil, emu oil, or other moisturizing oils to facilitate this process. This is the safest way to stretch piercings and is recommended by most professionals.
