Default Bolt and nut anti-seize use

I am wondering the more I trawl the threads what are peoples use of anti-seize during the build process.

Do you anti-seize every nut and bolt or just certain ones?

How do you know which ones to use this on?

Are thier various nuts and bolts that you should NOT use anti-seize on?

Any and all thoughts welcome...

The airframe bolts are torqued dry per FAA specs in AC 43.13.

Anti-sieze should not be necessary on airframe bolts due to the materials and plating used in true arcraft hardware.

Engine requirements are different....
