Yep. I use a lot of it. Usually there is a learning curve to most things, this stuff is the exception.

That's the stuff that was used by builders of the "easy glasspack mod".  The mod that used heavy threaded steel water pipe to install glasspacks and straight pipes. Welded in a threaded reducer as collector and welded short nipples onto the glasspacks; used 2-ft threaded pipe as straight pipes. They had to use the anti-sieze on the threads and "exercise" them frequently - used a custom spanner to reach in there and break them loose and turn them.  Pipe threads were not intended for hot exhaust systems and they seize.   Stored the straight pipes and glasspacks in the luggage with anti-seize on them so they could change the sound at a ride-in (eg, quiet on the road with glasspacks; loud at the ride-in with straight pipes). Even wrapped in plastic, I can imagine the resulting mess.  DIY solution that was not well engineered.

I have used anti-seize on steel to aluminum threads.  Like spark plugs.  I actually had one of the alternator bolts break off on Deerslayer years ago, because Honda assembly did not use it.  That bolt stub is still in there.

Yup, our saying was, forget to use it, and the bolt "never sees" daylight again. That colloidal copper stuff is awesome on some dissimilar metals, I think the FelPro # is C5A.
