Anti-seize?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Anti-seize?

Post by WhiteKnight »

Where is the best place to buy anti-seize, and what exactly is it called? I asked three people about it at Lowe's, and they all looked at me like I was an alien.

Go to autozone, or somewhere similar, tell them you want a big jar of it. The cap has a brush attached to it.

Nooooo! Not the big jar! Those contain enough Anti-Sieze to coat half of Texas -- maybe most of Texas.

That s--t goes a loooong way.

I got the big can with the brush for $5.99 at O'Reilly's. I've got enough for a LONG time.

Maybe but you'll never need those little packet that you leave most of it in when you are finished! What do they call it...Tmp-1 or something like that?

I don't have a silencer (yet) but has anyone tried the spark plug antiseeze that comes in a crayon type form? Its silver colored and works great for plugs lol

What are you using it for? I assume for either a flash or sound suppessor?
You might try powdered graphite.If your looking for Copper shield,Nickel-shield or N1000 you could try Grainger.

Make sure if you choose a copper based anti-seize compound, that you don't try to use it in a marine environment, electrolysis will occur with the salt water.

I like a nickel based, high temperature anti-seize because it works well in all my applications.

I see that Permatex changed their formula, it used to be lead based back a decade or two!
