I second the value of the 'lipstick' anti-seize from Locktite. Significantly less mess.

Anti-Seize compound is readily available in twist-to-advance sticks. We have used it that way for years, and we never bother with toothpicks or brushes and we never get it on our fingers. It's by Loctite, it's called QuickStix and it's called "Silver Grade Anti-Seize". Carry one in each tool bag and more on the truck.

I have an 8 oz. bottle with built in brush on applicator. Definitely recommended on all SS hardware. I took apart another installer5's rack to add modules, and half the bolts were ruined and had to be replaced. I recommend a torque wrench too, its super easy to over5 tighten the SS hardware.
