It helps seal when its used on pipe (tapered) threads. It fills the imperfections on the surface of the thread face so that they can seal against each other. On joints where the threads are not the sealing surface (o ring boss, ORFS, JIC) it isnt doing anything.
You can tighted the piss out of it and the threads will deform enough to do it on their own, but its not the right way.
