I had a .30 cal end cap bound up on my Griffin Optimus yesterday so of course the interweb was the first place I came for info.
Saw a coupe older threads on here. A couple of them discussing the use of the Threadsmart line of products. Griffin actually recommend this product in a couple of their posts. Found this at Grainger (which is available locally to me). https://www.grainger.com/product/ANTI-SEIZE-TECHNOLOGY-Metal-Free-Food-Grade-Anti-446G46 Looking at the data sheets it appears to be just ABOUT the same thing as the Threadsmart product sold and recommend by McMaster-Carr. Anyone try it? |

I doubt that is the same as the stuff Griffin sells since I believe they repackage Lok-Cease. I bought several of the little jars from Griffin and it is much easier to deal with than the usual anti-seize products, gave some to friends at Christmas.
I've not used it long enough to offer any reports on its effectiveness but moving forward it is what I plan to use. |

I understand it's not the same thing Griffin sells.
They sell and recommend the Threadsmart products (branded as Lok-Cease). I'm just saying the MDS sheet lists the ingredients of both the Threadsmart product and the Grainger products as close to the same thing. I've tried he Loctite anti-seize copper colored stuff (the stuff that comes on Glocks from the factory), and haven't been impressed. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the Grainger product. |

It's high temp stuff. Messy but mine has never locked up. I grease the threads with this and oil the taper on the griffin mount. |

The copper antiseize in "glue stick" form from loctite is the best product I've found to date. No mess

This is what we use when assembling our silencers:

Same stuff they use for vehicle exhaust systems. It has lasted for years. |

all new to me do you use it on the baffles to make it easier to take apart? or just the threads? is anyone worried about breathing hot fumes from these unknown compounds? Not really worried about the fumes as I don't get them hot enough to destroy the compound. |

I use Blue Monster Teflon Tape on QD and direct thread mounts that I want to be able to take apart on a regular basis ( its thicker that the Teflon tape I can get at a typical store ), and copper anti-seize on any other threaded areas ( end caps, joints on cans that can be disassembled etc. )
Never had much luck with anti-seize on QD or direct thread mounts. Never had one get stuck, but they don't stay tight. If its a direct thread that is not being removed from the gun often I use Blue Monster and Rocksett. |
