Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - I have an original .36 caliber percussion rifle with a loose breech plug.

It screwed out easy enough, but once we cleaned it, it is loose as goose.  Can I epoxy it in to fill up the threads?  Epoxy as you know can be removed with heat.  Other suggestions are welcome.

I used plumbers tape that I found, it worked.  the actual breech plug tape you reference is out of stock at several places I checked and not expected to be restocked.

Thanks for the tip, I thought about tape, wanted to be sure.
