Takn4aFool Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 give me a tube of caulk and i can get more on me in no time than i ever could with Never Sieze, it's all over me and my clothes, but then i don't look like the Tin Man either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kirsch Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 If you want it to move again, never seize. If you want it to stay where it is forever, caulk. Maybe I got that backwards... I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Doctor Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 It depends how you work. I can work on a steam engine for a full day and not get any grease or grime on me, but if you ask some guys to hand you the grease gun, they will look like they just climbed out of a tar pit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtfireman85 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I use caulk almost daily, i can use acrylic water based all day without mess, the minute i pick up Lexel or silicone it is all over. As for never seize, i am usually filthy enough that I don’t care. But the grip of my impact is usually silver colored from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for never seize, Hint: get a good spray bottle and fill it with alcohol (rubbing or denatured, doesn't matter). And have a roll of paper towels handy too. It cuts the silicone, but dries fast enough without leaving a residue, unlike soapy water or mineral spirits. Here's a really good spray bottle that will last. I buy the cleaner just for the bottle, and put the original contents in another container to use later. Much better than any empty bottle that I've ever bought. The tube's built in to the bottle. The regular generic spray bottles are crap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Englander Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 An interesting observation I've made over the years is that anything that I take apart that has Locktite on it, well, comes apart! The Locktite protects the threads from rust so it is sort of a double fix. It keeps things from loosening but lets them get loose when wanted. Yes, I've looked like the tin man more than once.

Lars (midessa) Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Grandpa whenever doing plumbing/pipe work, would put oil based paint on the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I have used both on the same fastener. I can show you a fine thread half inch set screw with a jam nut on top of it that has anti-seize on the threads and then one of the flats of the nut marked with caulk so that I can look down at it at a glance and tell if it has moved. Blue Loctite would probably be the better way to go, like New Englander mentioned, but I’m paranoid so I would still want to check it and see if it was tight, which would disturb the lock tight, so I have to mark it with caulk.

New Englander Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Torque seal. Used all over aircraft to indicate both that the fastener or hose fitting has been properly torqued and that is hasn't loosened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it used on other things for the same purpose as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
