That's a minor problem, and I'm not too worried about it.

Must bigger is that I can't get the hot water tank drain plug to seal 100%. I wasn't having success with the normal thread tape, so I used some of the "Natural gas thread tape" which seems to be thicker and squishier. I did several wraps of that, and could barely thread the plug in, but I got it in, snugged it up, and left it connected to city water pressure for a few hours. There were only a few drops weeping out in that time, but I'd prefer no weeping at all . . .

This is probably "good enough", but it's going to annoy me.
