Is the copper clean, if not spin some emery around it, or sandpaper. Do you have the clear plastic washer taper facing the taper on the PVC pipe? If you have it backwards, it WILL leak. Hand tighten only.
Is it 1-1/4" copper, or 1-1/2"? (should be 1-1/2 for kitchen); IF it is 1-1/4", they make a special washer to use with the PVC to step it down to the 1-1/4" copper pipe (it has a smaller hole in the washer); If you are putting 1-1/2" washer on 1-1/4" pipe, it WILL Leak, but all you need is the right washer, installed correctly, to make it work. PVC pipe can be the same.
