Where have you had trouble with a/s?


I haven't -- but I've also not used it to try to prevent
corrosion in a very shallow thread engagement. I would think that
it
would be more likely to wash out (in a rainy environment) --

You're most likely right.


Aluminum Poprivet threaded inserts and SS screws have held parts of my
gutters together for at least 15 years. I remove the screws when I
clean it out, several times a year, and haven't noticed any
deterioration.
