When using monel or SS rivets or other fasteners, what options do I have to prevent ss to aluminum contact? I think I would have a hard time explaining the purchase of a 2oz. container of Tef Gel at $72 to my wife. Would something like Permatex Red or Copper do the trick? This is for a cleat on the boom.

Lanocote has worked very well for me. Since getting it for the boat, I've started putting it on just about everything that's screwed together outdoors. That small tub will last you (and a friend or two) forever. It smells like hell, though!
