Default Spark plugs torque

Gentlemen somebody has torque values table handy? I misplaced mine (if I had one) What's the proper setting for spark plugs? Or should I tighten them until it feels right?

Seems like that works out pretty well for other areas too.
Isn't that the alternate method for Fuel line fittings as well ?
