Default thread sealant on Master cyl. threads?

Hi all,
I have completed the rotor and caliper part of the disc brake upgrade. Today I will start the hard line routing to the dual master cyl. I was wondering if I need any thread sealant for the master and proportioning valve?
Thx! Walt

no thread sealer or teflon tape on any of the brake fittings. Be sure you're usign a flair nut wrench to get them tight without stripping.

Those fittings work on compression & sealing the threads will not help. The nut squeazes the flare into a seat to make a seal.
