Yeah, very good stuff, and many thanks for the reminder. After a marine mechanic recommended it to me years ago I use it on all marine nuts and bolts and have never had a seized bolt where it has been used, even SS into aluminum on outboards, which seem like they can seize in a year if uncoated.

Am wondering if it provides enough high-property lubricity to prevent galling in the SS-on-SS application of coarse-threaded turnbuckles where fine thread was the standard. A heavy, water-resistant marine bearing grease is may be as good as any for this app.
