[RE-wrenches] Subject: Re: Best Ground Racking?

[Glenn Burt]

I second the value of the 'lipstick' anti-seize from Locktite.

Significantly less mess.

Anti-Seize compound is readily available in twist-to-advance sticks. We have
used it that way for years, and we never bother with toothpicks or brushes
and we never get it on our fingers. It's by Loctite, it's called QuickStix
and it's called "Silver Grade Anti-Seize". Carry one in each tool bag and
more on the truck.

I use a toothpick and put a tiny bit in the bolt threads.  It's a little

This is the stuff. Be prepared for it to get everywhere, it's really messy
(or maybe I am).

We use Anti- Seize Lubricant made by Permalex.  I get it at the auto parts
store.  I have an 8 oz. bottle with built in brush on applicator.
Definitely recommended on all SS hardware.  I took apart another
installer5's rack to add modules, and half the bolts were ruined and had to
be replaced.
I recommend a torque wrench too, its super easy to over5 tighten the SS
hardware.
