Per Eddie Nosdtromo:
I was wondering if I could use the Permatex brand antiseizing compound on
my bike's threading. It's silver in color, as opposed to the bronze color
of a small tube I bought from a bike shop.

There's something about different anti-seizes for Ti bikes vs the rest.

Can somebody comment? It came up in another thread, but I still don't think I
understand.

Pete,

Having just bought a Ti bike, I'm interested. Here's what I've found

Metal Type of Anti-Seize
========== ===============
Stainless Steel Nickel
Brass against steel Nickel
Aluminum against steel Zinc
Monel, Inconel Nickel
Titanium Nickel
General purpose Aluminum-Graphite
