    anti galling thread lube or anti seize for stainless fasteners in raw aluminum

    Sometimes aluminum threads are either never anodized or are worn to the point of being raw.

    Anyone done the work to find the optimal anti seize or other lube to keep these threads from galling and stripping?

    I usually oil them with synthetic air tool or KC trouble free oil or similar but only because its what I have in my tool box. For all I know, it causes harm.

    So the question is, what is "best"

    Synthetic grease containing molybdenum disulfide.

    You can get it at autozone and the like.

      Moly grease works well, it's cheap and readily available.
      If you want to be fancy, zinc anti-size is the best you can use (but $$$)

        Thanks guys.

        I've come across paintball guns with what appeared to be moly grease or similar in them. Now I know why. Because it was some smart guy.

          I use electrical anti-seize compound. I use it all the time as an electrician so it's always on hand. A small amount goes a long way.
