Default Lapping Gas Valve with Pepsodent

"You'll wonder where the leaks all went,
when you lap your valve with Pepsodent"

Or so the jingle went.

Several prominent members have mentioned curing gas shut-off valve leaks with toothpaste. In doing so, did you attach the stem to an electric drill? It's hard for me to believe that merely twisting the stem manually a few times would cure leaks.
