Along with the other fine discussion here about why screws bind/gall and what to do to prevent it, I'll toss in a couple of brand names that I have found useful both in my automotive and (mechanical) instrument hobbies: Kroil and Microil, both from Kano Labs.
http://www.kanolabs.com/ Kroil (and its cousin, Silikroil) are wonderful for taking apart something that no longer wants to come apart. Microil is wonderful for putting together fine instruments that you want to keep moving or to disassemble later. I think that a drop of Microil would keep the alu/steel interface from galling, without the possible mess involved in applying a more traditional anti-seize (I'm fond of the silvery stuff from Permatex/Loctite, myself). And for the ones that won't come apart any more, a short shot of Kroil will free them right up. 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
