Pipe dope and ptfe paste are suitable for metal and plastic. To thread plastic and metal fittings together, the male fitting has to be plastic, and the female fitting has to be metal. If you do the opposite—use a plastic female threaded connector with a metal. Ptfe tape is intended for metal pipe and fittings, not plastic. Metal to metal fitting joints are harder to tighten compared to plastic because the surfaces are physically harder and can gall without any ptfe tape or pipe dope.
