Default Small leak from prop valve connection (sealant question)

Just got done converting my car to discs all around. I have a small annoying leak from two of the prop valve connections which is making me add a little brake fluid every couple days.

I've had a mechanic tell me to just tighten the hell out of them with a brake line wrench which doesn't seem right to me so I am curious if theres some sort of liquid gasket type product for brake lines which I could use on the threads ? I can't seem to find one, don't know if they exist.

If theres no gasket type product, what would be your recommendation ?

Don't know about the plumbers tape, I think the brake fluid might just destroy it over time....Guess I'll just tighten the **** out of them
