Hi All

I am restoring a bench where all the metal fixings had rusted. Some
joints have large barrel nuts and bolts and others bolts and inset nuts.

I was thinking of putting something on them before refitting to try
and protect them. I had a few thoughts...
- use something like vasaline but guess the oil would ingress into the
wood.
- paint them before they go in.
- given they are all M8 the rust is probably superficial anyway so
only need to deal with the thread to tighten if necessary at some
other point.

Anyone have any ideas on how to prolong the life of this?

Thanks in advance

Lee.

Nickel or bronze anti seize all over the thread

I think my computer has invisible letters in it because everything I
type is ignored so must be invisible,It must be because it originates in
Australia and can not be read in the UK

Other than stainless or
galvanized bolts and even with, my suggestion of nickel or bronze anti
seize is probably one of the best solutions.
