Hello greenkeyers.
I have been stripping a Klein tt-98 for a while now, and now have to stripped to the frame. Yea!
Next is cleaning and assembling.
Section 2-29 of the manual has a note: "Steel screws should be coated with Compound Antiseize before they
are inserted into magnesium or aluminum castings."
I have been noticing a grey-greasy substance in the threads. I'm sensing its to keep the threads from bonding to castings.
Is there an over-the-counter substance you guys use that I can buy somewhere. Will lock-tight do the same thing? This seems to be a greasy graphite type substance, and works to prevent threads 'locking tight."
Thanks,
Jonathan
