What is the correct way to apply Teflon tape to a threaded piece of steel pipe?

First, make sure the pipe threads are clean and in good condition. Hold the end of the tape flat against the pipe threads, flush with the end of the pipe, then turn the pipe clockwise, or as though you were tightening it. Put 1-1/2 to 2 turns of tape on the pipe, keeping the tape flat and tight against the pipe as you turn, then thread the pipe immediately into the fitting. The reason for doing it this way is so the loose end gets pinned down by the action of screwing the pipe in, rather than getting flipped up.

Can you apply heat to teflon tape to solder a copper joint?
Yes, you can. I had this very same question myself a few days ago. In order to answer it, I put a piece of teflon tape in the flame of a propane torch. It shriveled, but did not burn or melt and when I stretched it out, it returned to its original shape. I then made a sweat joint inches from a teflon wrapped joint with no problems. You sure want to be carfeul when doing this though. Teflon gives off extremely toxic gas if you melt it.
