I use it mostly so I might be able to take it apart some day.

What is the collective Wisdom concerning the use of an aluminum-to-aluminum lubricant (such as Penetrox) between boom pieces, one of which is swaged? I am reassembling several older monobanders but using OWA dimensions here in the desert (no salt water corrosion). We have nearly-continuous mild-to-heavy winds, 10 - 15 to 45 - 60 mph, nearly year round, so the boom pieces must be solidly bolted together; yet, I'd like the option of being able to take them apart again at some time in the future.
