Best Anti-Seize

Ford 2000; Diesel; 4/8 Transmission.....I just put some 5/8" set screws (allen head) in the bolt holes in the four mounting bosses on the sides of my tractor to keep dirt daubers from building nests in the bolt holes. One day I may want to get those our so I applied some of the Permatex silver anti-sieze on the threads. I've noticed in some videos of machinery assembly people using the copper anti-sieze. Is one better than the other?

Note: my hands looked like the tin man after handling that stuff.
 

For steel/steel fastening, I use copper. Started using copper because that's what Caterpillar recommended, and still doing so. Don't have problems tearing things down 20 years later. For your particular situation, I've used blue threadlocker to keep the plugs from vibrating out.
 
Silver goo is just fine. I have not seen an application, that needed antisieze, that Molybdenum Di-sulfide would not work. Jim
 
In 46 years of twisting nuts and
bolts, I came to prefer the copper
type. Seems to work better than the
silver and doesn't dry out like the
silver either.
 
I was told that at the factory,Ford put corks in the unused holes. Cheaper and did the job, Henry looked out for the pennies. joe
 
Today's best anti-seize compound type is
probably the ceramic / non-metallic type,
but your application doesn't really need
best, just good enough. Chassis
grease or pipe joint compound would
probably do what you want, the silver
anti-seize you used is more than adequate.
 
I haven't had the breach plug out of my .50 cal. muzzle loader since I installed it. I can't remember if I put anti seize on it or not when I built it back in the 70's. Do you remove your breach plug often?
