Bob,

The installer who did my tower used plenty of NeverSeize on the non galvanized bolts and nuts and I had no problem removing them 12 years later. I was surprised to find them prepared that way but very thankful.

What would you recommend to coat them in to keep corrosion/rust demons away?


They are composed of hardened 5/8 x 18 threaded rods (non-galvanized) and
the bolts are used for adjusting the tower for plumb, so I'd like to
preserve the ability to adjust them at some point again.  So something that
would leave the nuts still adjustable down the road is preferable, even if
has to be re-sealed/coated at that time its fine.

Suggestions?
