Copper slip

"Copper is used in some anti-seize formulations to prevent galling in high temperature applications where the organic portion of the grease will be cooked out. It serves NO function at ordinary temperatures "

Be warned. It camn also galvanically corrode some metals. Anecdotally most report issues with aluminium

Thick grease is all you need to keep a low temperature joint free to unscrew.

Or for the real mcCoy

Anecdotally being the important word.

You'd think it was a rare and expensive material.

It is ideal for things that can get hot. Exhaust fittings, wheels and brake pads. So if you've bought it for that, just use for anything that needs an anti-seize compound, but not a lubricant.
