Why not use Pentrox (also called no-lox and equalox)? It's a conductive
grease that electricians use. It's also used when assembling antenna's
made out of aluminum tubing. You can get it at any Hardware store or the
big hardware chain stores.
Stuff will easily come apart many years later after initial assembly. My
dad recently disassembled elements from a 20 meter beam, he built in the
1960's and they easily came apart and they spent their life in a
California climate 12 miles from the ocean.
