Well - I've put my two cents in on this before but here goes again - It's my feeling that you really run the risk of contaminating the epoxy bond by introducing any foreign matter be that wax, thread lube, Pam or what ever. It's really a simple matter to remove metal screws that have gotten some flox or resin in the threads. Grab your soldering iron and heat the head of the screw, the resin will soften and allow the screw to be easily removed. You may have to follow up with a tap to clean the resin out of the threads after it re-hardens, but that's better than risking a bad bond - it really doesn't take much heat to do this either. I had the same problem with my aileron mounting - it works and works well.
