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
