[TowerTalk] ROHN TOWER BOLTS

[Steve Maki]

Even the most inadequate lubricant (WD40), when it comes to the subject 
of SS galling, is by my calculations and experience, exactly 99.4% 
better than none at all.

I've never had SS hardware gall during the loosening process if it was 
*truly* successfully tightened without any galling. And even WD40 
accomplishes that.
