    hey guys... My grandparents have a little cabin for summer use and I winterize it ifor them in the fall and open it up in the spring. I remove a 1/2" bolt (drain hole) to drain the water pump in the fall and remove another bolt on top to prime it in the spring. It can be REALLY difficult to get the bolts out. What would you recommend I use to lube a bolt that only gets removed once a year?

    They sell food grade anti seize compound for bolts. Just do a search for nontoxic anti seize in Google.
