Teflon Packing

I thought I would try the Teflon packing on my prop shafts,and I'm NOT liking it. I can't seem to find the sweet spot between to tight and to louse. I'm either over heating my shafts or spraying water all over stuffing boxes. I think I'll go back to waxed rope. Anyone else have this problem?
