No, makes things worse and, ultimately, the tap jams and it can't be turned on or off. Don't ask me how I know this!!!
Blue Hylomar works for a while but needs re-applying fairly regularly. In the end I gave up and used a modern ball valve tap that solves the problem permanently. If it's an issue, they look better if you make a more period looking, metal, lever to replace the plastic version.
