 Topic: Maalox as Anti-sieze
Posted: 04 Mar 2011 at 10:06am |

I was watching a video the other day on the Tube or internet, I don't remember, but they used Maalox as anti-seize? I'm not sure if the used regular, mint or cherry flavor.:)

Ues the regular, you don`t want the extra sugar on the threads that is in the flavored ones

I don't know anout Maalox, but I know you can use Desitin baby ointment as heat sink compound for electronics. Also cuts down on transistor rash.

More importantly, can you use anti-seize as malox?

you can use crayons as wax to help remove siezes / rusted in bolts or studs also along with any candle wax, just heat area and melt wax into area and let cool . wicks into thread area and lubricates and penatrates rust.

when i worked a rock-tenn paper mill in the twin cities, the store room always had cakes of bees wax on hand. heat the rusted bolts,pipe fittings,anything with threads.heat expanded the metal and the wax would penetrate into the fittings.

My dad worked at GE at Strother Field in from the mid 60s through the late '80s, he to used Malox on GE jet engines.
Always kidded him about the Malox in his tool box, after he retired.

Lou, you could use Prep H if you hit your thumb with a hammer. It might keep the swelling down a bit. Maybe you could rub it on the head of some of the Deere collectors that think there is only one kind of antique tractor. LOL Charlie

It's also good for "Instant Courage". Unfortunately it doesn't make you tougher. Ask my brother-in-law about that...

I don't know what you could use Preparation H for on your tractor, Lou, but I ran some Ex Lax through my B for the sludge in the oil pan, and that crap ran out of the drain hole like water!

Brian,
A whole lot of years ago I woke up in the Pittsburgh city jail as a result of Instant Courage! Just as you have mention, I discovered that it DID NOT make me any tougher!
Too much of any good thing is bad for us!
