Review for Fernox LS-X External Leak Sealer 50ml by Phil
12th July 2023
Used this stuff for around the last 20 years.
We used to refer to it as ‘low confidence paste’ as you’d use it on compression fittings or connections if you didn’t want to risk a leak upon filling up.
Fernox are the originals and a few other manufacturers produce similar now but to be honest I’m sure normal silicone would work just as well.
The best use I can find for it these days is stopping the cheap brass fitting threads squeaking when your tightening them up.
Little tip to make the tube last a bit longer, roll from the end and wrap some PTFE round the cap thread to keep the air from it.

Only come across this product a few times.
Well worth the effort of sorting the issue properly or using a more traditional paste type jointing compound.
Horrible to use and horrible to clean. Customer supplied and they had used it on tap connectors. They had blocked up the tap and was not a quick job to rectify.

Brilliant sealer for a quick fix on small leaks as a temporary repair. Also really good for making joints, never had any issues with this product.

I'm an electrician and always have one of these in the van! Does exactly what it says on the tin and completely worth the expense over cheap alternatives!

Always have ls x on van . Use it all the time for making tank connections in on cold water tanks , I always use it when making shower tray wastes in and I’ve never had a problem . It’s also great for using it for small little weeps or temp fix until problem can be done correctly .

Great product to keep in the van, will get you out of a tight spot with those annoying little weeps on compression joints. Only downfall is the end of the tube seals after opening. You end up having to pierce holes in the tube each time you use it.

This is one of my go to products when you have that annoying weeping on a joint PTFE and the product on the joint problem solved. I have used it on waste connections with great success as well. Alll round good jointing compound.

Good and bad really, can get you out of a situation if a small leak appears but honestly if it’s more than a very small weep it won’t seal. I like the product but most annoying is that once you open the tube it will start to go hard in the tube

I have used it in the past to seal fittings but found it a bit hit and miss. Changed to other brand, as it goes off quite quick too.
Not a bad price.

Every engineer I know has a tube of this somewhere on his van. Helps with small leaks to TEMPORARILY get things sorted until they can be repaired properly. Used for all sorts of issues. It’s a good product and an even better one when used for its original purpose. Keep one on the van. You won’t regret it.

One of them things you just having your tool bag - I would recommend wearing gloves when using it as it’s not the easiest to get off your fingers

This is great for using on olives to stop slight weeps. Also great to stop weeps on other stuff too. Always carry some in my bag. Always sets near the cap but not a problem.

If you need to seal a little weep on a fitting or boiler part till you can replace it works a treat and you can apply it wet and it sets up in 30 minutes.
