Just wondering if there is any problem with a Copper based paste in contact
with an aluminum casting-  any danger of an electrolytic/galvanic reaction?

Hi Drew
Copperslip is a high temperature anti seize compound that contains mashed up
copper (judging by its colour and texture) it is readily obtainable here in
the UK. There are similar products that are silver in colour reputed to do
the same thing, I have never tried them though.
