[TowerTalk] Aluminum Tubing Grease

[Grant Saviers]

If you use Never-Seez make sure it is the nickel particle type, not 
copper.  The copper will react with the aluminum.  There are also other 
brands with aluminum particles.

NoAlox works well also, it has zinc in it which is specifically for 
electrical connections.  It was really hard to get the last 30% of the 
Noalox out of the 4oz Home Depot squeeze bottles.  We used 5 bottles for 
two 40m Moxon beams.

All are messy.  I wear a nitrile glove to spread it evenly by hand on 
the joint.
