Damaged pipe threads
While removing a broken off nipple of a corroded shower arm, threads of the elbow which it was stuck in, were damaged a bit. The elbow is about 3" deep in the shower wall and to replace the elbow would require tearing out tile wall from one side or sheetrock from the other and would be a real project.
I am uncertain that pipe thread compound and tape will be enough to seal the threads. If a slow drip were to continue, there may not be evidence of a leak until slow dmage over time produced a greater problem in the wall.
I have been told my best option is to use plumbers epoxy on the threads and tighten in a pipe extension, that would now be permanent, and use it to mount the shower arm.
Any experienced people care to share thoughts?
My sincere appreciation for any advice given.
I'm not a pro plumber, just a long-time DIYer, but if it were me, I would get a set of 1/2" NPT pipe thread taps and chase out the existing threads.
Then you can use teflon tape and pipe dope on the ends of the new shower arm, and remove it when it becomes necessary again.
Good Luck!
I'd open the Sheetrock and replace that elbow. Sheetrock is easy to patch.
If you insist on not opening the wall I'd do what was already suggested. Instead of using regular pipe dope though I'd use pro-dope or better yet, blue block. Both of these go on thicker and dry like glue within days where pipe dope takes years. Dope the new arm, three wraps of Teflon, and dope over the Teflon. That thing should never leak.
Appreciate the replies.
Has anyone had experience using plumbers epoxy on threads? Will it provide a seal?
Can't seem to find any information on that specific use, so perhaps the best course is to try the tape and dope as suggested, and if ineffective, open the wall and replace the elbow.
Thanks again
Go with Mikes suggestion. Tape the tap into an extension and socket for your ratchet.(that way you don't lose tools in the wall) This will give you the length you need to reach the elbow. Go slow to make sure you don't start a cross-thread. If you use an epoxy, it is guaranteed you will be tearing out the wall if something happens later. I like Rectorseal #5 for a great sealing pipe dope compound. At least you can remove the piping later. Good luck.
Thank You
Appreciate the insight.
I am basically a DIYer, and have learned a great deal from my mistakes in life. I have also learned that every mistake I have made, others have made before, and learned from. So I welcome the advice of others.

Only down sides is the price, and I used this alone without any other product and I leaves a white film on my hair, even if I use very little and clarify really really well with the shampoo from the Kinky Curly line. But this enhances my other products and the only reason I stopped using it was because of the price tag, but I might just have to cough up the extra money because this works so great.

Kicking off tour, Madonna shows she's no lady (Gaga)
By Dan Williams
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Pop superstar Madonna kicked off a new world tour on Thursday wishing peace on the Middle East even as she showcased grim dance routines depicting violence and bloody gunmen among her more colorful numbers.
Madonna, 53, mixed hit songs over three decades in music with tunes from her recent album, "MDNA," before a packed audience, and she took a sly dig at younger diva, Lady Gaga.
"She's not me!" Madonna sang at the end of "Express Yourself," which she had reworked to include a sampling of Lady Gaga's recent "Born This Way."
That song from Lady Gaga, who emerged on the pop music scene about four years ago and has enjoyed a huge following in recent years, has been cited by many music fans and critics as being very similar to Madonna's late 1980s dance club smash.
Since Lady Gaga, 26, released "Born This Way," fans and music lovers have speculated that a generational challenge was in the works between the two women and comedians have poked fun at any imagined rivalry between the two.
Despite occasional lighthearted touches such as a baton-twirling routine in cheerleader formation and a psychedelic homage to Indian philosophy, the dominant mood at Thursday's concert in Tel Aviv seemed more grim with a stage shrouded in black and red and costumes that often appeared ominous.
"Like a Virgin," a dance tune that helped propel Madonna to stardom as risqué pop ingénue in the 1980s, was performed as a mournful cabaret with violin accompaniment. At one point, the singer was trussed up and hoisted into the air by four male dancers, then lowered onto a platform as though into a volcano - a virgin sacrifice. Continued...
