With structural-stressed floorboards, domed nutplates mounted to carbon fiber keelbeams, and stainless hardware (not to mention the fuel cell between the keelbeams...), I didn't want to take any chances with galling, seizing, or breaking of nutplates.

Lube technique?
Hi all,
I just recently did the "final" install of my Vetterman system. Then I read this thread and acquired milk of the mouse to lube it. Can I just gently inject the MM around the various exhaust joints or do I need to disassemble the whole thing to lube it properly? If this is a re-lube with annuals and when you pull the cowl, certainly no one is really taking it all apart.
Thanks,
Michael Wynn

Lubing the Exhaust System
To answer my own question, I emailed Larry Vetterman. He said to get a little syringe and place a few drops of mouse milk at each exhaust joint. He said it will penetrate and spread itself without any further disassembly.

A syringe with a long needle gets to the hard to reach spots. These syringes can be purchased at any animal feed store for under a dollar.

And all this time I theought the best all around lube, sealant etc. was Monkey s**t?
However, I have recently tried the 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fliud and acetone. That fabeled mixture which out performed all the patent penetrating oils. I think it really does!
Now I wonder what's the best ATF to use, there are now at least a dozen types. Being me, I use the cheapest.

Speaking of ATF, I have had a few quarts sitting around from back in the day when old transmissions required an occasional addition. I also have a chain saw with a reservoir of oil to lubricate the chain. The chain oil that they sell for $$ is red and, well, oily. Hmmm. That surplus ATF has been working just fine in the chain saw for a long time now.

Just dip a small flat blade screw driver in the container and drag it around the joint. about three dips will do one joint.

Used the same stuff on the sliding joints on an aircraft Powerflow exhaust system.
Fairly easy to obtain from a good auto supply house, but you have to call around. The usual Pep Boy type outfits did not have it.
The typical silver colored anti-sieze compounds are good to 1600 or 1700 F. This one is good to 2400 F.
