Just one dab will cover the entire planet.

That’s why I like the teflon tape…. It’s clean.

Works good on the phone ear piece for when the boss answers the phone.
That sh** gets on EVERYTHING!!

I see a rebranding here. Maybe they need to make a Frank's Red Hot Anti Sieze. That sh**s good on everything.

LOL- I did that with an old bosses coffee cup.
NEVER have a silver coffee cup if your going to be a jacka$$!

The best I have found is what I use it on my tractor turnbuckles, they sit out in the weather year-round and are just as free a year later as when I brushed anti-seize on the threads. You can't wash this stuff off.

I use that same stuff. Also a tiny bit on percussion nipple threads after cleaning.

I use heavy grease or antiseize, sometimes allox bullet lube. My thought is to exclude fouling and water from the threads by filling the spaces greasy stuff. A second reason is that if the thread fit is really tight, as it should be, you don't want to gall the threads and jam it up. When fitting a plug use some lube to prevent galling.

I wasn't aware of that. I'll be switching to baboon snot.

Looks like some good advice. Whatever, be sure to use something and don’t do as I did and install it dry. I twisted off a brass jag at the bottom of the breech on my Southern Mountain and can’t get the plug to budge. I have soaked it in every kind of anti-seize oil you can think of and no cigar! The only thing I haven’t tried is heating the barrel with a torch - that’s next. I would use the anti-seize stuff like in the bottle, but you don’t have to buy that amount - the parts house sells small packets for spark plugs and is required on HEMI aluminum heads. If it’ll work for that kind of heat, I would think it should do fine for breech plugs.

Have you tried soaking it in a 50/50 mix of acetone & automatic transmission fluid?
We called it “Voodoo Juice” because magical stuff happens when you use it.

Haven't found anything better than PTFE tape.. Beds into all the nooks and crannies and dosen't dry out like greases or gung.. Good on nipple threads too.Used it scince it was introduced. O.D.
