From "MythBusters Workshop: Extreme Plumbing", article by Jamie Hyneman, published in the April 2007 issue of Popular Mechanics:

"While making plumbing-heavy builds, we discovered an indispensable plumbing supply product that's ideal for joints under high temperatures and high pressure. It's called X-Pando - great name! It's a powder; you just add water and use the resulting paste as a pipe dope. The stuff expands as it dries to make a very strong seal. Adam and I don't know of anything else like it on the market."
