Locktite 545, thread sealant. By far the best stuff out there. I can leave my truck aired up for months at a time and it won't drop at all.

Loctite (no "K"), from my employer, Henkel North America. They do make quality products.

I do a bead around the whole bottom of the threads and let it dry about 30 minutes before testing it with air or water.
