Ray Gave up on stainless fasteners and anti-sieze a long time ago after discovering Dura-Con Fasteners <http://www.duracon.info/p/why-dura-con.html>. Better corrsion resistance against aluminum than stainless and no galling! We have used them for training where systems are assembled and disassembled several times. Even with anti-sieze still would have to hack a few fasteners off every time. With Dura-Con no more problem. I also believe that they are also cheaper than quality Stainless ( not all stainless fasteners are created equal!) . Try em you'll be asking every racking company to switch over from stainless!
