For the last 30 or so years I have been using anti-seize that looked like powdered copper or graphite in some type of thick oil and it has never failed. Upon using the last that I had on hand, I attempted to purchase another can (seems to last forever). The person selling it to me stated that they could not get the silver or copper type anymore and sold me something that looked like white glue that 1st graders used to use to glue paper.
Does anyone know anything about this "white" pasty substance and does it work as good as the old silver or copper type. Is it true that you cannot purchase the old type any more or is it that the person selling it just stocked another brand (cheaper or easier to get). Replies please
 
I have some white and every other color, but the white on mine was food grade
 
the white stuff may have had a lot of lithium in it, i have not seen that stuff myself.
permatex still makes the good ol' silver colored stuff out west of the rockies,
i don't have any of the copper on hand- thanks for reminding me:grin:
 
When we worked on steam flanges many years ago we had a mix of graphite and oil
