Does Anti-Seize Compound Actually Work? Let's find out! Anti-Seize vs Grease vs Fluid Film vs Wax
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- Does Anti-Seize compound and lubricant actually work better than other options such as grease, fluid film, or candle wax? Does it work better than using nothing at all? Copper, nickel, and aluminum anti-seize lubricant compared to bearing grease, Fluid Film, candle wax, and using nothing at all. All products tested for rust stopping or rust blocking, extreme temperature tolerance, water resistance, and even as an engine oil substitute to provide permanent protection against engine seizure.

Does it conform to the sn rating for motor oil? Lol
Should test fluid film as a motor oil!
I know a mechanic that use engine oil. Can you do a test on engine oil as well?
I would argue that the candle would'^ve done a better job if it wasnt cooked away prior ....
I honestly didn't see the engine coming apart for that reason. I figured it would be too viscous and cause to much strain. Now you have me curious about these products for polishing or lapping abrasives.
I’m just impressed that he and his shop weren’t coated in anti seize by the end of this. Anytime I touch it, it magically gets everywhere.
lol That would have been a problem!
Yes. Especially the permatek. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE. Especially when coating wheel hubs with it lol
I know right! No matter how careful I am some always ends up somewhere I don't want it. Dreadful stuff. It does work though, both this video and my own experience has taught me that.
I really go through the gloves cuz I have issues with it.
The same thing happens to me. It always gets all over the place.
You need to give a masterclass to all other TH-cam content creators on how to get to the point. Seriously, you cover in fifteen minutes what would take others hours of stretched out yapping to do. Thanks for the work you put in, I genuinely appreciate it!
Wow, thanks!
I'll second that, much thanks, and loud clear audio, and to the point, absolutely love that, loud clear audio is actually rare, us truck drivers love that, cause we often listen to vids obviously not watching and audio quality is important
@@ProjectFarm mr. moser is spot on there. yer the best i've seen on here anyplace.
Agreed, these videos are excellent. I don't mind a little wandering if it's something I am watching purely for entertainment but for informative stuff this is about as good as it gets.

I worked 41 years in a coal fired steam electric plant. The units were rated for 450 Megawatts. Needless to say we had some massive equipment and valves under a lot of torque and stress. We used a lot of copper based Anti-Seize on a lot of different equipment. I learned my lesson well and I use it a lot on my farm and cattle equipment now in my retirement. I look forward to your products test every week and use your suggestions whenever I get a chance. You do an outstanding job. One of your fans. Thank you.
Thank you!
YES! 41 years in a coal-fired plant also! Anti-Seize is used in all applications. Nickel and copper, depending on mfr's specs.
I work in pump repair for power plants and most plants are converting to using copper-free anti-seize and graphite bearings. Any bronze or copper in the feed water apparently leaches out and can severly damage boilers.

Thanks for confirming my faith in Permatex antiseize, I've used it my whole career as an HVAC service technician! A little goes a long way, one bottle lasts for years. New subscriber here from Wisconsin, corrosion protection is very important here in the Upper Midwest! You're making Consumer Reports look like amateurs!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
On some of the ball mills used in the gold mines, we used aluminum based anti seize on the big bolts that old the steel liners in place. man, give them 3 months, and that stuff acts like glue. Impossible to undo without a huge impact gun. The best is copper based but its expensive
@@robertlindsay9826 He mentioned in the video that anti-seize can cause galvanic corrosion when used on certain metals, so it's important to pick either the aluminum or copper stuff based on what it's being applied to
>You're making Consumer Reports look like amateurs!
that's cause they are lol
Is it good for ball lube?

His dedication is off the charts. I wish other agencies would test as well as he does.
I’ve always enjoyed watching your testing processes as you are very thorough keep up the good work
I am blown away each and every video.
Ya' know.... i almost didn't click on this. I thought to myself: "Is anti-seize really THAT interesting?", and then i saw the list of things you were going to do with it..
I'm sorry i ever doubted your ability to make something as mundane as Anti-Seize, so goddamn interesting. I'll never make that mistake again.
Thanks for watching.
you must be new here
@@kamilzmich5961 Actually, i've been here pretty much since the beginning. Thanks for playing.
There is no other channel that combines the practical with the absurd like Project Farm.
I worked as a pipefitter in a chemical plant for nearly 40 years. Anti seize was a must on every job. We used Never Seize most of the time. Made by Bostic. Great stuff. Your tests are amazing and informative. I love watching them. Please keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Another long time user of Never Seez here, over 45 years of using it.
I know of two slow-speed diesel engines manufactured in the far east in the mid-70s that experienced some unusual encounters with anti-seize. The engines were both 10-cylinder, 900mm bore turning about 90rpm slow speed diesel engines.
The crankshafts were assembled of individual pieces, using shrink or press fits.
Someone in the assembly process, without the knowledge of the manufacturer, supervisors, quality control, owner's representatives, or regulatory agencies decided to speed the assembly process by coating the crankshaft parts with anti-seize in way of shrink or press fits.
Both engines passed shop tests, dock trials, and sea trials. The ships were put into service with no apparent issues. A least one of the ships experienced engine problems. Examination of the engine found that some of the crankshaft components had shifted and the crankshaft was misaligned. The anti-seize worked as intended, it prevented the components from seizing. The problem was the crankshaft components were not intended to move relative to each other.
The moral of the story; is don't put anti-seize in the crankcase and don't lubricate shrink or press fit with anti-seize materials.
Bob
Great story. William Nixon, Metallurgist, Physicist
This is why it's so important for every person involved on a large project to understand the whole project and how it functions. That technician/team was clearly told to fit the parts together, but must have had no concept of why they were going together or what exactly was going to happen to the parts once they were in use. They just slapped the parts together because that's the job they were given. That or they just hated their jobs.
@@Joseph-C In this case, as I understood it, the individual loved his job and the company. He was trying to help speed the assembly. He didn't understand the consequences.
How did you manage to misspell "seize" so often?
@Okurka I have no idea. I was never great at spelling. I can also claim it is a result of over-reliance on the spellchecker. I will go back and correct my mistakes.
3 months of prep work, the effort you go through to show us a true review of a product. That's insane dedication! Much appreciated for all of your videos
Thank you!
I do not have any use for that information, but i stay just out of sheer amazement for all that effort put into those tests.
I really was impressed when he compared all different brands of lithium AA batteries and came with test samples of 2 years of use
Yeah I’m frequently blown away from all of his improvised testing methods and his extensive level of detail. True talent dedication here.
I love the shot of the dipstick showing the crankcase "full" of anti-seize! Lolz
lol. Nice!
@@ProjectFarm It's definitely a lot more than just a regular test video :P
Second only to the timeless "The banana level is full."
I’ve always been a big consumer reports guy , because of their scientific and unbiased testing! Your test are right on par and often superior to them ! Your saving all your subscribers a ton of money and making life much easier by showing us the best products to use ! Please keep up the great work, and we all greatly appreciate the painstaking hours you put in ! Thanks again for all these great test !!
Thanks and you are welcome!
consumer reports has gone to crap they are all woke with their tests it is all what is best for environment or saves water or is safest not what works best and is cheapest.
CU is crooked as hell
@@ranger178 I'd put them above the autogenerated sites that parse online reviews to create a generic generated review. Consumer Reports probably overall does a decent job and have a genuine business model. I think we should pay for information, but even that can be corrupted by people or companies( ie. Suzuki Motor Corp. v. Consumers Union of the U.S., Inc.). It's kind of like America's Test Kitchen, though I've found sometimes my opinions don't quite align with theirs so I just have to guess where the value lies and if needed return it.
I was thinking about making the switch to copper. But thanks to you I’m staying with the Permatex aluminum. Important reason you mentioned is galvanic corrosion. These new vehicles have so much aluminum on them. And the bolts are zinc coated!
Thanks for sharing.
It seems that O2 sensors frequently have copper anti-sieze on them from the factory. Even though I've had no trouble using the aluminum stuff, the copper might be better for that application.
If you have the money might be good to keep both on hand, i dont so ill stick with forcing the bolts lol
Lawnmower : Ah, another day without him hurting myself.
PF : Allright, lets test this anti seizure as engine oil~

Remember, if you want an omelet you've got to break some eggs.
Meaning a small engine gave its life so we could learn that anti seize is not an oil
@@robertpicton1 You made me laugh until it hurt.
"I suspect this damage was caused before the anti-seize" LMAO... I'd say. That little engine has been through hell!
Thanks for watching.
@@ProjectFarm
Now stupid question.
Why did the connecting rod give way in such a fashion?
DragonZer0 prior damage? Maybe anti-seize doesn’t cool the components as well as engine oil, so overheating weakens and damages the components
@@DragonZer0 I think that the anti-seize was too viscous and would not carry away enough heat and once the heat built up in the big end it wore down, softened, and failed. IMHO of course.
It might have started before this test, but “anti-seize” lubricants act like marbles in Greece, so it couldn’t get into the journal of the crank/ connecting rod as easily a liquid oil, thus allowing the rod to heat up and expand beyond its capacity and breaking. There was no way that the cylinder would have seized, because the clearance between the piston, rings and cylinder was was more then ample in allowing the lubricant to slip in!
Now what did the cam and lifters look like, when doing a test like this on an engine, before and after pics of more then the piston, crank and cylinder head should be taken, a long with any and all measurements possible. Not just use the engine as a Ginny pig!
This way your before pics, and measurements will mean one thing, and the after will actually tell the story!
I guess your going to send this one up to Musty1 to see if it can be saved , for yet again future failures!
Love these tests!
I have used the silver & copper antiseize for years, works great, don't need much.
Like my dad used to say, one tube could paint a barn...lol
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
One smudge can paint a face. Anti sieze seems seems to get everywhere!
I spent half a day on the internet trying to get an idea about the best type of anti-seize / corrosion inhibitor to use for restoring my classic cars. After hours of research and still being confused, I watched your video and it gave me the answers I needed straight away. Thanks also for doing the wax and grease; they're things I probably would have tried but now I know their limitations. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to do such conclusive tests in your videos; they're very educational and invaluable.
Thanks and you are welcome!
The extensive testing and the amount of money and time you spend on doing these videos, just to show people how good products are, is just unbelievable and amazing! I strongly belive i say this on behalf of all you other followers as well... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Worked in a large slaughter house years ago. They had 2 French presses that worked under extreme pressure to squeeze every drop of tallow out of cooked guts. Had a lot of 1" bolts holding plates on. Before they started to use anti seeze on threads would take a full Saturday & Sunday to remove bolts and perform maintenance. Had to use a 1" old very heavy impact driver to remove bolts. Once anti seeze was used only took a day for entire job. Thanks for another well produced vid.

It's not a good lubricant, but it does lubricate the threads when torquing them down. Taper lock and QD bushings have a warning on them about putting never sieze on them, as it increases the clamping force so much you can split them in half.

The copper high temp works better wether it's locktite or permatex. My first experience with locktite was on the mold board adjustment bolt (2.5 inch) on a 12 cat grader that had spent 6 months working rip rap on an ocean beach . Absolutely no problem getting it loose .

@@kviaak7979 ok.
With all the projects he goes through, I'm surprised he got to it within a year. ;)
As a marine engineer for the last 30 years I can say that all of these anti-seize products are very limited when used in the marine environment. I stopped using these many years ago and instead use silicone grease (such as caterpillar o-ring lubricant, Dow Corning Formula 111, or NAPA Sil-Glyde). I find that Anti-Seize tends to loose it's oil or grease after awhile leaving only the dry flake. Then sea water seeps in and starts to cause corrosion. Silicone grease stays for years and years. Sea water has no effect on it. Extreme high heat can be a problem though. Exhaust manifold bolts is the only place I use copper based anti-Seize.
Thanks for sharing.
So would you recommend it for small engines exposed to the elements
Years ago i was worki g on miltary vechicals that had been stored 'n the kuwait desert sense desert storm page 1 worki g on M1 abrams and Bradlys mostly, i found the nuuts and bolts cam e off pretty da g easy after 11/12 years ever sense then ive used the cooper based anti seize on all y tower and antennas a d anythi g automotive and marine.
@not meatall
I've not been a marine engineer but have had good success with silicone grease on the farm.
Ive been using Tribology Tech-Lube silicone paste. It works well. I've found I need to wear gloves because if I get it on my hands they stay slippery for a while as washing doesn't really have much affect taking it off.
Maybe Project Farm will do a review of different silicone grease products.
I'm a retired marine engineer and I can tell you that anti-seize does work. Dow Corning does work on some things but not 950 degree superheat steam line flange studs but Loctite copper plated anti-seize does. Yard-birds don't like using it because it takes too much time to anti-seize the bolts and studs, and it is almost impossible to get them to apply it to fiber sheet gaskets. I always would have an understanding with the yard that they would apply it to boiler handhole plate threads after I had to burn off 80 handhole plate nuts one time when they used plain nuts instead of 2-H nuts, if they had used anti-seize the nuts would have not have galled.
Thos video for me was mostly entertainment. I really enjoy your channel and refer to it when in question of many DIY project purchases.
I love your delivery and content.
Thank you!

Dude goes hard in the paint, not to mention he's smarter than the average bear!
I have to wonder how many small engines you've killed and if you "notch" you tool belt for each dead motor..... Great work, Todd. Thanks for your methods, hard work and integrity.
The permatex stuff has worked pretty good for me. It's amazing how shiny the metal was under it, i think it was the cleanest. That mower test was amusing, i agree the scoring is from the antisieze as the metal turned abrasive. The less torque for same clamping force was interesting, most said it actually lowers clamping force.
Thanks for sharing!
This channel has the best non-bias product reviews. Period!
Thank you very much! My goal is definitely to deliver unbiased reviews that help everyone. Thanks again!
Lmao, that was funny. "It did it's job, the engine didn't seize".
I use that aluminum anti-sieze religiously, it definitely works well for me here in the rust belt.
Great test.
Thanks for sharing.
@burningfeet 57 What are you talking about? The rust belt is a term used for the area where manufacturing has decreased greatly around the turn of the century. The bible belt, what you seem to have confused the rust belt with is just an area where Christianity is followed by more people than average. They are both demographic terms, not religious terms.

Thanks and you are welcome!
I really appreciate you making these videos! I feel like I learn so much!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear!
How about testing how much tightening torque and clamping force changes between bare threads, anti-seize and thread locker.
Great video idea! I can definitely test that.
yes I agree that's a great idea. I have a bolt torque tables i found online and if I use loctite I torque the bolt to the "lubricated" chart which seems to be around 80% of the "dry" chart
I'd also like to see grease, motor oil, and WD-40 added to that test. A lot of times motor oil on the threads is an unavoidable fact of life, and I'm known to use a bit of WD when reinstalling fasteners with light corrosion.
This is definitely a really good idea. You're not supposed to use anti-size on tire lug nuts/studs, for example, because it changes the proper torque values. Knowing how much the torque value should be modified may allow you to use anti-sieze on the lug nuts/studs should it be required (severe corrosive environment, for example).
10 years living in Maine says yes, the anti-seize does work.
Yup! I bought a VW up here in Maine and someone was nice enough to use anti-seize, it was a pleasure to work on.
Great point!
ya same here in Minnesota but I also spray a can or two of chain lube on everything before every winter
you phrased it almost word for word from Mustie1 lol
Love the double feature in this video here!
Reminds me of the older days of seeing if something will run in a motor :)
Thanks!
Another great comparison video, thanks. I've always been a big fan of Anti-sieze compounds and have been using them for over 45 years as a mechanic. I was introduced to them as a beginner for spark plugs. In the old days spark plugs were prone to seizing in the head and Anti- Seize compounds were the best way to prevent a major job of removing them. I always enjoy your tidbits of info like this one, I didn't think about copper formulations causing a galvanic reaction with aluminum. Good to know. I was told early on that the way they work is with tiny glass beads that stay in the threads to act as bearings when the grease compound dries up. My theory is that the main advantage of using them on spark plugs is that the grease component of the Anti-Seize fills any void in spark plug threads to keep carbon deposits out of them. I'm not sure if that is accurate.
I wasn't surprised at the lawn mower test as the main job that engine oil does is to carry heat away from the bearing surfaces and to other parts of the engine block where it can be dissipated through the flow of the oil. I wonder if Anti-Seize would perform better in an engine with an oil pump so it would flow through the bearings. One thing I was really surprised at was the expiration date on the one product. What the heck? It's not food. I have cans of Never-Seize brand from 30 years ago that I still use today.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
"It didn't seize, but it sounds like it threw a rod!" LOL
More like snapped.. LOL
To be fair, it says it's anti-seize. It doesn't say it's anti break. lol
Just when I was getting ready to fill my crankcase with anti-seize.
Now that is funny...
Dang bro! You still replying to comments 2 years later! That’s dedication man love your videos
Thanks!
I really enjoyed the style of video No Time wasted whatsoever. Straight-to-the-point. It would be great to do a 10-year test. I own a Automotive repair shop in Illinois, they don't hold back on assault at all in the winter. As you pointed out in the beginning of your video it takes twice as long especially on exhaust bolts. The blue wrench is your best friend in such cases. If it would be great to have a fleet of vehicles operating in this area do the same amount of repairs, for example exhaust manifold and catalytic converters and anti-seize the studs. Anyhow, I will continue to use my copper anti seize on spark plugs and exhaust bolts.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
After being an Auto Tech for 44 years, and 34 of those working on a fleet, the Copper anti seize has worked the best in my experience. Great job doing all of your testing!
Thanks so much!
@@ProjectFarm don't use copper anti seize on stainless in salt water, it actually corrodes the stainless; nickel based in marine applications only
Molykote M-77 is the best I've used. Takes longer to dry out than the copper stuff.
Always found res-q steel to be pretty good personally. Used it on ships for years without issue, would have been interested to see it against these other ones.
@@wlrottge nope, tefgel we use
The alternate name for this channel: "Will it work as engine oil?" Lol
Thanks for sharing.
Kinda like Will It Blend haha. Will it run in a mower!
"Will it lubricate?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Next up, Peanut butter or Fluff!
I have learned so much from this channel. I used slime in my bike tire, back on the road in 5 min.
This guy is crazy-dedicated to his product evaluations and excellent video presentations !!!
I only wish I had more thumbs to click up !!!
Thank you very much!
Here's an extra thumb www.patreon.com/projectfarm 😉
After spending years working in refineries every bolt that I put back in my cars or bikes that does not use Loctite has anti-seize on it. It makes life easier my mechanic. (Me)
What's the best for spark plugs, aluminum head?
I got a old can of never seez. Copper and graphite. Always worked well. .
I definitely enjoy your test videos. Really putting things to extreme tests.
Thanks!
Legend. Best resource on YT! Thanks for your hard work.
Appreciate that
I'm always amazed by how much effort you put into your videos
Thanks so much!
@@ProjectFarm I have to agree with the gasmaskguy95... Great set-up on your videos!!! But please, just a little less carnage using the poor lawnmower engines as sacrificial lambs...😕
While you hinted at this in the video: the reason antiseize works so well (in addition to being a lubricant) is because it is hydrophobic and prevents most electrolyte solutions from penetrating the threads and blocking them with corrosion products. Without an observed difference in electric potentials, corrosion simply cannot occur - it's a similar effect to having coated metal with paint, it cannot see the electrolyte to exchange electrons.
Anecdotally, in my engineering career, I require the use of antiseize in most fastener applications (just make sure to reduce the torque by about 20% to avoid overloading the fastener...). I believe in the fairly liberal application of it... In fact, a nuclear reactor in the industry I work in experienced an unplanned shutdown (costing the plant easily 2mil+) because several small fasteners had crevice corrosion which allowed a control valve to blow apart. What did all of the failed fasteners have in common? no antiseize. In a sampling of other fasteners at the facility in the same application, those which were installed using antiseize from approximately the same era had no observable corrosion. Antiseize is good stuff!
Thanks for the feedback.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this info 👍
I usually use antiseize on my lugs but I tighten to the minimum not the maximum,I think if you work in a gas station or on customer's stuff you have to worry about liability since the owner's manuals say not to use antiseize or lubricant, It is amazing at the abuse that lug nuts get from grease monkeys in tire shops armed with air guns
and still they may send out a car without tightening the lugs at all or even send out a car with no oil in the crankcase!
you can also put antiseize behind the surface where your wheel backside or rotor sits
@@davidpowell3347 I got tires on my truck at a local tire shop, then took it to get inspected and they called me saying I needed several new studs and lug nuts because they had been put on so tight they couldn’t get them off without really messing them up
@@davidpowell3347 Just saw a truck shop send out a bus that just got new tires on it with several of the bolts hand tight, and several over torqued so hard they twisted them off.. These are bolts big enough to kill someone if they were to be struck by them at highway speed. Not to mention the damage and loss of life that could have been caused if a steering wheel popped off at the wrong time. Yet, nobody will get fired for this and every shop all over the country will keep letting their employees over tighten things with oversize impact wrenches and the like
I find these videos absolutely fascinating! Appreciate your channel
Thanks so much!
Yay! I've been using anti seize on all my bolts when I install back on my car. Good to see it actually has good results.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hey I have a very interesting video idea! There are “home defense” bug sprays that claim to prevent bugs from entering the area you spray for up to 12 months! There are many different brands of this product. I think it could make a very interesting and informative video! Thanks project farm
well i dont think hes an entomologist but its possible he worked pesticides as a profession.
Wyatt Hrubes I’ve always thought .22 rat shot as a good home defense against bugs but maybe that’s just me.
Great video video idea! Thank you
Wyatt Hrubes “we’ve bought a variety of bugs to test with lol”
Yes! I live in an area with a lot of insects. I would love to know which residential home defense spray actually works
Remember to have a torch nearby. A bolt can't be seized if it's liquid
Heat is hard to beat! Thank you
My father broke a water tap in garden few days ago, half of old thread stuck in pipe. Extension to be correct, usually he will just go and buy new extension but with lockdown that's not a option. And only reason he ask me for help, usually he's to proud for that. Luckily chinesium taps melt at low temperatures, small blowtorch was enough to melt it away and install new tap.
Good ole Smoke wrench antiseize
@Dirty Harry problem is that with so many ppl buying only these cheapshit taps it's impossible to buy good one any more in my town. I'll need to travel don't know, 100km to buy good one. One can always order something online but you know how it's going usually, it leak and you need to buy new one fast and then you forget about it for a year and then again it leak and you can't wait for post order and circle is complete, infinity repeat (and Chinese GDP grow :D).
Whenever I shop for products . Gotta Google your videos ! Amazing information you provide to make smart consumer decision! Thank you for your work
Thanks!
I'm amazed and really impressed at the work and preparation you do for these evaluations--the most thorough I've seen. Great use of Scientific method. Thank you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Nice job as usual. My dad taught me about anti-seize years ago. Use it daily at work, never lets you down.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Todd's grass never gets cut. He keeps breaking all his mowers to get out of mowing
lol Thanks for watching.
Probably gone through all of craigslist supply of used mowers in a 60 mile radius!
I think that's the same mower, he owns only one
Project Farm: "Can I borrow your lawn mower for the afternoon?"
Me: "NO!"
Great video!
lol Thanks!
You kidding? It'd come back cleaner than ever with a new gasket and spark plug to boot!
@@greyspot00 Yea, but it might have some anti-seize in the crankcase :D
@@greyspot00 Raburn's lawn mower ran for 6 minutes and 11 seconds without oil which was 27 seconds longer than Kyle's but not as good as the 8 minute showing by Bob's. In our next test we'll run over all three mowers with a train.
I bet he gets turned down a lot.
Watching the videos that you make really has me curious as to how you found yourself making videos comparing products? Did you originally go through these kind of evaluations, (in a more limited extent), before buying additional supplies?
Thanks for all the great videos!
I found Anti-seize on my hands just watching this video!
lol Thanks for watching.
Haha, you can put antisieze on one bolt and run away and you will always get it on your hands.
Man, I've been here since your channel was way smaller. I think it the first video I saw was the first seafoam video. I cant commend you enough for not selling out. With over 1 million subscribers you could have easily gotten sponsors and your test could have been favorable to those that pay you, but you didn"t and I'm glad you exist to make videos so we can be informed on the products we buy.
I'm new to the channel, butI love the way he tests these products.
Thats what i love about this channel.. Hey welcome to project farm today. I will be testing several different anti-seize products... but still blows up a lawn mower in the end.
Thanks!
Another fantastic video from one of YT’s best presenters!
Thanks so much!
I don't know how, but I ended up with Permatex anti seize on my keyboard after watching this video. The stuff gets *everywhere* !
lol. Great point! It's very messy stuff!
Gloves. If you can find any right now.
I know this sounds crazy, but when I was in the military I worked on TF 34 jet engines. Our technical manuals would have us apply Phillips milk of magnesia as an anti-seize compound on the nuts and bolts that held the hot section together. I speculate that those areas would get so hot that they were beyond the flashpoint of most anti-seize compounds. But it is a good cheap and non-hazardous alternative to standard anti-seize. Also easily applied, we would put all our nuts and bolts in a Ziploc bag, pour in a little milk of magnesia and shake the bag. I love your show!
Thanks for sharing.
Damon Traeger
When I find tips that crazy-genius, I have to try it. Now if you’re trolling me, my test subject won’t be an expensive victim.
Speaking of jet engines, you guys get a grin out of explaining the intricacies of axial compression to curious 12 year old wrenches. (Yeah, that was me 50 years ago). “Well, ya see son, yer family car sucks, squeezes, bangs, and blows....while this here screaming jet sucks, squeezes, and sneezes.” 😎
Hmm, makes sense, leaves a granular but crumbly material in the threads, without interacting chemically, and without lubricating the fastener much if any. Magnesia is an incredibly refractory oxide, it will literally outlast anything you can make a bolt out of -- besides tungsten and a couple neighboring metals (none of which you'd want to make a bolt out of, for various reasons).
Wish I saw your post before I posted. Yup my squadron used Milk of Magnesia on our T58-GE-8B turboshaft engines as well.
Damon Traeger I’ve also used this on extreme high temps(2500f). We decanted the liquid off and used the remainder on or studs and nuts. It really does work well in these circumstances
I know this is a old video but this is still the most useful channel on youtube. Thank you man for your videos!
I appreciate that! Thanks so much!
awesome !!! great video . cannot be thankful enough for what you do . constant knowledge . if only we could all be just as patient seeking answers as you . even a large portion would suffice .
Thanks!
This guy is amazing. These are very well thought out experiments.
Thank you very much!
He’s the best, real world tester
Next on Project Farm: "Which brand of canned chicken soup works best as a motor oil in a lawn mower engine: Campbell's, Annie's Organic, Progresso, or Harbor Freight?"
"...made in China!"
lmfao!
Now don’t be stupid
We all know progresso is the thick and hearty best soup around lmao
i can hear the chuckle when he says harbor freight.
let's all calm down we know that hormell chili will make the best motor oil.
