I can still remember watching Philip applying lanolin to the machine screws
fastening his mast steps onto his mast.
While Never-Seeze is very popular for steel, lanolin is said to work very well
for anything involving aluminum.

I know that many of us like to use never sees(?), but I perter anhydrous
lanolin for fasteners. I used it on all the fasteners that went into the mast
on the boat I built and twelve years of ocean cruising later those fasteners
came out without any corrosion problems at all. The big advantage is that it is
clean. It is the stuff that Lanacoat is mode of. I use it on anchor shackles
and long after the shackle rusts away the pin can still be withdrawn with ease.
