thread them all the way in. when it is snug give it about 20 more degrees of rotation or so. make it snug.

who even uses a torque wrench on plugs?

Hand tight after it starts to give you resistance. Just don't push with all your might cause you will break it.

I highly recommend that you always use this product on any fitting subject to intense heat. Spark plugs, o2 sensor, brake caliper bolts. Truly amazing.
