Yes, that's what I meant, sorry for the lack of clarity.

Hmmm, no.  Anti-seize is that nasty silver or copper colored stuff that 
gets all over everything and *stops* things from "locking" together, and 
also acts to prevent corrosion, a bit.

The stuff we are using here is designed to stop vibrating fasteners from 
slowly undoing on their own.  Which this bolt is highly unlikely to do, 
anyway.
