How to Prevent Leaks at Threaded Pipe Connections

In this video I demonstrate how to prevent leaks when working with threaded plumbing pipe connections. This technique works well for galvanized, black steel, cast iron, brass, copper and plastic pipe (make sure your sealant is plastic compatible).

I have a 1 inch cold water supply line attaching to the well casing Male pvc to female metal I didnt tighten it quite enough and I have a small pinhole air leak where the threads meet the metal. I cant tighten it because everything else is glued. What can I do without taking everything apart?
