[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 493353, member: 27803"] Question: I have installed Stainless steel T nuts on the underside of the plywood flooring for attaching mending plates to tie the sections of floor together with stainless steel machine screws. This makes it easy to disassemble and remove the floor for inspection and cleaning. I have marine grade anti seize I’d like to use on the screws. The T nuts are sealed in place with 5200. This still leaves the top of the plywood for the screws to pass through. I can’t use anti seize and silicone together. So how do I do this and still seal the screw holes. The plywood is treated with several coats of penetrating epoxy. Am I just going to have to use a sealer. Silicone or 4200? Or will the marine anti seize help protect the wood any? Oh the anti seize I have is Loctite LB 8023 marine grade with no metal in it. It’s great for galvanic corrosion and prevents moisture intrusion. It doesn’t cure. After two years I removed a bolt from my motor and it looked like the day I installed it. [/QUOTE]
