Installed the material last year and generally it works as advertised.  It
ook several attempts at packing the gland to get enough fill and still have
oom for the front and back packing rings.  Requires periodic tightening to
ontrol drip frequency, but the gland is not hot to the touch after use and
 minimum of water collects.   Pat, 801

 where to find the Gore material around here.

 Anyone have experience with the putty like teflon packing material sold by
 West
 Marine and others. Seems like an easy way to go-almost too easy.
