Frank, my man, usually during November the wind from Canada is bitter cold,
but you like to send us a bunch of unseasonably hot air.  Look people, ignore
this baseless prohibition.  The pink color is used to identify Teflon tape
which is 1 mil thicker than the white variety.  Applied properly, either one will
work.  There is also yellow colored Teflon pipe tape.  I especially like the
pink when applied to black pipe.  It gives the run of pipe that ever popular
50's retro look.
