Bit of an odd one, and one I'm sure hasn't come up before. 

 

What particular areas or threads should copper grease not be applied? I wanted to use it everywhere possible to prevent any seizing. 

 

I know all of the obvious areas, so no silly replies please, but I was just thinking places such as the hub nut or between the flange and disc brake. 

 

What are your thoughts?

Obviously any application where you would normally apply thread lock is out.

Don't you just love a "spill chucker"! Can a Mod edit the title to read (presumably) Copper slip grease, so the OP can get some serious replies.

Thanks for the two serious replies.

 

I probably asked for it with that slight spelling mistake though, and I just knew this thread would turn out like this.
