Recommendations for Anti-Seize products
I traditionally have used copper slip on stainless steel bolts when putting them into the aluminium on my defender to minimise the dissimilar metal effects. However before i go and buy a new tub I was reading that normal grease is better. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

If you want the good stuff, this is it.

But I just use copper slip, as it has many other uses and is cheap.

I use Weicon paste whenever I have the misfortune to need to use stainless fasteners. It's very good stuff.

Interesting, some on here have seen the light. Whistle Weicon Thumbs Up
Ceramic grease then again is the best product for wheel hubs.

I've always used copper slip but am going to start using the Molly grease I've just bought from Gwyn Lewis and see how that goes.

I use (have always used for the last 30+ years) copper grease for hubs / wheel nuts / wheel spindles - it has never failed to prevent them seizing.

What makes ceramic better?

Which type was it that came with the Naka SS bolt kits?
I have half a tube of that still and it’s lasted me literally years for my needs. TheThunder Rolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

Berner.
They also sell tubs branded BMP. This also comes in small packets with other Nakatanenga fittings.

I'm no expert but they all seem much of a muchness to me. However the Weicon was more readily available. WARNING.

Ceramic is totally metals free. So ideal for isolating a steel hub from an alloy wheel.

But so is the Weicon?

Don't remember what it says for Copaslip but the Weicon states: "Original sealed containers have a shelf life of 24 months."

So, once opened it's good for how long? At the rate most DIYers go through a product like this, that must be most of the product either going in the bin or being used well outside it's design life. Confused

Hylomar blue might be your friend for this application.

The original product was developed in conjunction with Rolls-Royce and was used for sealing aircraft engines.
