[GreenKeys] Antiseize compound

[Ron Kolarik]

Auto parts or hardware store should have anti-seize compound. I have both 
copper based and aluminum based, in this application I would use the aluminum
one.

  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
