I worried about that, too, after reading that review, but I can't  
find any other sources that say the same thing. There's "plumber's  
putty," which is probably the "joint compound" being referred to, but  
there's no real advantage to that stuff since it isn't adhesive like  
the more modern sealants.

FWIW, I've been using PTFE (Teflon) putty I bought at the hardware  
store and its been doing a fine job.
