Default Copper slip


"Copper is used in some anti-seize formulations to prevent galling in
high temperature applications where the organic portion of the grease
will be cooked out. It serves NO function at ordinary temperatures "

Be warned. It camn also galvanically corrode some metals. Anecdotally
most report issues with aluminium

Thick grease is all you need to keep a low temperature joint free to
unscrew.

Or for the real mcCoy
