Copper Anti-Seize Lube: User-Friendly?

[(Pete Cresswell)]

The guy I bought my ti frame from was big on something he called "TiPrep"...but
he went on about how toxic the stuff was and that contact with skin SB
avoided....and so-on and so-forth.

Didn't like the sound of that, so I went down to the local Napa Auto store and
bought some of what they call Copper Anti-Seize Lube (Napa Item# 765-2569).

Container's label doesn't sound real friendly - but not many do...

So, bottom line: do you wear gloves when you're smearing this stuff around?

It's not terribly toxic, IIRC. You can get the MSDS for it if you're
really worried, though.

For some reason the MSDS that comes up is for a different product,
it is for the anti-size in a tube. 49550-Napa

I used this stuff on my freewheel threads and I just put a dab on my
finger and spread it around. Of course I washed my hands when I was
finished. No harm done. (but that third eye coming in should be useful...)

Common sense...just resist the urge to eat it or schmear it all over
your body...
