Review on πŸ”§ Park Tool ASC-1 Anti-Seize Compound: The Ultimate Solution for Long-Lasting Performance by Sam Doucette

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You can use lube but it should last longer

You apply it to joints and threads that you don't want to move relative to each other so they can be disassembled in the future. As I and had no idea what the difference between Anti-Seize and Polylube is, check out Park Tools' video showing the difference. When sealing ball bearings, use a polylube, not a lubricant. However, Polylub can be used to lubricate the threads. So why anti-capture? They should last longer and also prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar materials. This might not be a big deal on bikes, especially for parts that are regularly removed and re-greased. But I was having a hard time getting my old pedals off and chose to get them as they are cheap and I expect to need them quite often.
