> Probably not. Anti-seize comes in two flavors (silver and
copper-colored). Both are basically very fine powdered metal (either
aluminum or copper) suspended in a paste-like substance, so that it's a
thick goo. VERY slippery stuff. The copper stuff is for use in
high-temperature applications. Based on that description you should be
able to find it locally; if not let me know and I'll hook you up.
