On Keris Peterson/Brown's video, from Peterson Sawmills, she recommends using anti-seize on the blade bolt threads. Well, I had not ever heard of the stuff, and don't use it. And, the blade bolts are real hard to remove, when they have been hot, and through alot of pine sap, and oak juice. Corrosion seems to start fast. I have garbled up the allen wrench fitting on the bolts, and now I can say, LISTEN to that accented voice!

Anyway, I found some anti seize (I can't say it, or type it like she says it, with that accent!) at a local welder's supply.

I am a fan of this stuff now!

Anti Seize. Better than chicken soup for the bolts!

I can't walk within ten feet of the stuff and somehow I have it all over me !
Do the best you can and don't look back

I've been using the stuff for years.  Even gotten to the point of using it on sparkplugs.  Just keep it off the end.  If it threads together with the possibility of being replaced, anti seize it.

Tim L, I have the same problem. I use it all the time. You can find it at any auto parts store.

Neverseize. the original. Been using it for thirty years. On a farm it is invaluable. If you use it on every bolt you take apart after awhile everything is much easier to fix. Also use it on shafts.

A friend of mine has his own proprietary formula of never seize, I call it Never Seize Ultra. :D

 It's good stuff. I keep a can in my mill toolbox, but you don't have to use it every single time you loosen a bolt or nut. I guess a little goes a long way.
  Nate, I have damaged a few of those allen heads on the blade bolts even with never-sieze. They can be obtained at a hardware store, you don't have to order them from Peterson. I keep a few around to make life easier. ;)
  Dave-whats the magic formula? :)

Gotta love that anti-seize. Its the same color as the front sweat bands in the hard hats we used to give to the newbies at the sawmill. Just a wee little smear along the sweat band before they get to work, and by noon they look like the tin man.  ;D

I dont worry about getting stuff apart since I discovered Rust Reaper. At least Iron parts.

In the oilfield we use a similar compound for pipe connections called Coppercote. I brought home a 5gal bucket full one time. Used it for nearly 15years till the bucket got smashed. I think I might have used maybe 1/2gal in all that time. Used it on everything. I'm a firm believer in the stuff. Save nuckles, tools, equipment and blood pressure.

Anti-sieze=never leaves.  'Bout the only stuff that takes it off is a solvent of some type.  Works great but what a mess.

I love the stuff as well.

From my experience using it reduces the chance you will ever have to remove that bolt again.

If you don't use it, you are guaranteed to have to remove that rusty stuck bolt at 30 below at night in the snow.

If the bolt is aware that you had anti-seize and didn't use it, than it will break off just below the surface.

It is kind of like buying the correct tool after the project is over, it guarantees you won't have to do that project again...

I like the coppercote stuff LeeB is talking about.  Found a small container at NAPA.  So far I haven't had any problems removing blade bolts at all.

I found some at the auto parts store in stick form, like a big chapstick container. Much neater and seems to work well.

When I was sawing out in Mississippi a while back (some of the time with Radar67),
I had a couple of bolts which had too little anti-s gook on them.  I went to a box
car part store and asked for an impact driver.  Of course, all the clerks could suggest
was an air wrench.  In fact, no one in the place knew what an *impact driver was!

It took over three hours to finally borrow a driver and rig enough adaptors to get
those couple of Peterson bolts off my WPF 10".

Believe me,  I now am very generous with the stuff.  At times I look kind of like the
Tin Man Jeff mentioned - at least my hands did, until I discovered Nitrile gloves.  When
it comes to getting all over your person, a "little dab'll dooya!"

Phil L.                        *P.S.  I did find and purchase an impact driver later.  It is in
                                          my main took kit now everytime I saw, right beside
                                          the anti-sieze compound.  That way I am always reminded
                                          of the consequences of NOT using the compound.

 I looked in my toolbox today and noyiced I don't actually have never-sieze, it's coppercote. I have a small container similar to one PVC glue comes in. Brush and everything. It's pretty convienient.

The Coppercote that I have used was for gasket sealing . However I do know that you can get neverseize in two flavers  regular (silver) and the new copper.

The copper flavoured anti sieze is reputed to be better for high temperature applications!

I'm hoping very much that whom ever had the mill in Africa before the present owners used a lot of the stuff.  A five year old in that humidity with no neverseize= long hours of no fun on a blade change.

Works wonders with lock mechanisms. Just put a nice coat on your keys and your good to go! Usually a second coat is not needed. HA-HA

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but "White-out" like you use correcting typo's is also some good stuff as an anti-seize medium. Just brush it on and tighten. It turns chalky when dry. And it can be bought for much less....

The origional never seze was used by the old steam power plant engineers, powdered graphite and steam cylinder oil.Mixed up a batch, it even looks and feels the same, makes me wonder about the expensive stuff thats supposed to be in the canned product.

Hey guys, being from the south we have another use for the silver colored stuff. If you have had to take the cover off to get to the flywheel of what ever motor you use then next time lightly coat the pick up with it. It will allow the fire to carry thru but not glaze over with rust. Works great on just about anything but trouble with the wife. If your stuck your stuck. Chuck
