Hot Rods Anti Seize

Does anyone have any experience with the anti seize product sold by Speedway?
I have used the Permatex regularly fit many years. I ordered this stuff from speedway while ordering other stuff and not really paying attention to what it was.

Pro Blend 1720 Anti Seize 4oz

Well, I looked at it today and it is a liquid lubricant. No indication of the contents of the bottle. While I really like the Permatex stuff it can be rather messy. You have silver coated fingers whenever you go near the fastener that was treated. I need to put something on the thread of the coil over shocks. Less messy would be nice.

I am curious, is this liquid product better or not?

 

Permatex has been around a loooong time.I would trust it more cause it works.

 

I've used this for 15 years.
A friend did their website, was given a quan***y, and I worked with metal...
Great anti-sieze, and stops dissimilar metal corrosion.

P.S. Did I mention I have a lifetime supply?...pays to have friends...

 

Sometimes, it's best to go with a brand that's proven to do the job well. I'm not even going to comment on the horrors of gooey silver fingers.

 

Thanx for that,Cosmo.

 

As a certified mechanic I have used my fair share of anti seize. My favourite is Bel-ray ***embly lube. This stuff is good for everything. I found it really stays there even after years of service even in the high heat areas.

I use the silver stuff all the time as we use a lot of stainless fasteners. Fast Orange or other hand cleaner works well to take it off. Jim Ford

 

I never realized there was anything but Permatex "AntiSeize". So far no one has commented on the stuff that Soeedway is selling.

 

I have never used anything but the silver permatex stuff and I will gladly put up with the mess, knowing that when I want it apart, it will come apart. The Speedway stuff may work just as well, but I'm not looking to change.

 

I think Cosmo offered his 15yr perspective w/ 2nd post.
my only offering is that there are dozens of different anti-sieze compounds (aluminum, copper,
nickel, etc) for different applications. One good for a ch***is application might not be good for a high temp application (plugs, exhaust, etc)

 

There are as many brands of never-seize , anti-seize as there is brands of motor oil.
I use it on fixed applications that don't move. If the part moves then you have to consider the metal in the grease and do you think that will cause wear?
I do believe that anything is better than nothing, especially if you are going to own it long term.

 

I always use the Permatex even though it does tend to get messy. That said, any kind of lubricant you put on something exposed ( as in under your car) is actually going to ATTRACT crud because of its content (oil/grease).I had a nice set of Alden Americans under my sedan that I shot with WD-40 once in a while and when they got dirty, I'd spray them with brake-clean, wipe them off, and give them another dose of WD. Now I'm older and have accepted the fact that I've got better things to do than polish stuff UNDER my car! Like take a nap.

 

Being a stationary engineer by trade nothing is better to use on threaded fasteners . Especially if you might ever want to remove them again . There is a nuclear grade available that works great on high heat parts such as exhaust studs and bolts .

When the world ends and all ceases to exist, there will be three things left: Styrofoam, ****roaches and anti-seize.

 

I used the nickel, graphite and copper based anti seize on pressure vessels and reactors in my working career. Just remember that a little of it goes a long way. Don't get carried away and think more is better. All that does is waste the anti seize and makes a mess.

 

I'm not sure how a liquid could act as an anti sieze. I've used the silver kind for decades, and have taken many parts apart with it, there are always traces of it left, that's why it works.

 

I like regular Permatex, but have used their marine version on boat work. IIRC, it was blue.

 

Don't forget *****ies.

 

...and Keith Richards.

 

I concern myself more with the anti-seize base then the brand. there is copper, zinc, nickel, and non-metallic. Not all applications are the same for example Nickel is for use on stainless steel.

 

I left out that the I think all the anti-seize products in the permatex "family" are good products.

 

Although some disagree, Ive always put a little permatex anti seize on spark plug threads

 

The liquid in the anti seize is just there as the carrier for the actual anti seize compound which is mixed in with the liquid or paste.. In a heat application the carrier would burn off and leave the anti seize in the threads.

 

Permatex also makes it with copper so you can have gold fingers instead of silver. I have a tube I got from NAPA and it has their name on it too.

 

There is also Food-Grade anti-seize available for such applications that may require it.
It's PTFE based
One such brand is RectorSeal.

(Shameless plug...) I happen to have some for sale on eBay.

 

"" RectorSeal."" Would that work in........

 

Lol....I knew that would garner some response..

 

Does it force everyone to smell their fingers too?

 

No. I think it might just be you. There's only one thing that makes me smell my fingers
