I had used Noalox, to lubricate the threads of my mini
mag. The lens to turn on was a bit "gritty" feeling, so
I cleaned it all out with spray oil and cotton swabs.
And clean out the end cap. I decided to use some of
that new dia grease on the mini mag.

I had remembered that I'd put Noalox on the threads of
the tail caps of several other aluminum body flash lights.
I went to investigate, and see how they were doing. A
couple of them were just grey gooped, and one looked
like the Noalox had etched the threads a bit, they weren't
quite the same. Might have also removed some of the
anoidzing. Not good.

There is a variety of tis stuff called NO-OX-ID that doesn't have the
aluminum added however the drawback to any of this class of compunds
is that they get really stiff in cold weather, even at room
temeprature the NO-OX is pretty hard.

My rtecommendation would a silicon grease.
