I use alumslip for more then 30 years on all joints.
Just disassembled a 204BA completely after about 20 years.
No problem to get any piece of tubing separated by just pulling them apart

Betreff: [TowerTalk] Aluminum Boom Lubricant: Yes or Nope?

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.
TNX,
Steve K0XP
