>Milspec, lol.

Yes, MilSpec [0].

>Doesn't that normally equal as cheap as they can get away with?

No, wrong. You're thinking of "military grade", which is effectively meaningless as a term.

>There is a high-density thread sealing PTFE tape that works a bit better than the el' cheapo generic white stuff

This is what I was alluding to. It's thicker and denser.

>EDIT: Unless the package has MIL-T-27730 on the tape, labeling it milspec has no meaning.

This is where you're wrong. Milspec has a specific meaning [0]. The milspec in question is Military Spec # A-A-58092 [1].
