Milk of Magnesia

[JEEPRUSTY]

Reading an old bike magazine today I saw an odd tip.
Some fellow who worked on jet engines claimed Milk of Magnesia is a suitable anti-seize product for high heat areas.

Its a bit hard to imagine a multi million dollar jet with its bits covered in laxative.

Anyone here heard of or done this?

Cooks away and leaves a powered metal behind? Sounds like it might work. Interesting, on jet engines they use a blob of RTV on some bolt heads to keep the bolts from coming loose.

Good god its true. True or all these posters are part of a conspiracy.

My dad was an air force machinist and I heard that story more than once when changing header bolts, etc. "If it's good enough for an aircraft..." was a common phrase in the house.
