[TowerTalk] RE: Tower Anti-Seize

["Mark ." <n1lo@hotmail.com>]

<<I'm planning to erect a 70 foot tower from sections of Rohn 25.  I'm 
seeking
input on what to use on tower joints to help prevent seizing at the joints.
Thank you in advance for anyone's input.  Jim  KB0X >>

Hi Jim,

I used a zinc-filled anti-seize paste (silver color) from an auto-parts 
store. Zinc matches the electrical properties of the tower's galvanizing 
(which is zinc) nicely. I would not use a copper-filled paste, as copper on 
zinc will definitely set up some corrosion once the carrier grease begins to 
dry out.

Sorry, but I don't have a specific brand and part number.
