Galvanic corrosion. Don't use stainless, they will never come back out. Most of the holes are blind and would be an utter mess to get the remnants of little stainless screws out of.

Your quite right Lambbert.

Luckily I have a tub of THIS - we use it on jet engine casing bolts that get up to some horrific temperatures. Never had a seized bolt.
Unbelievably its made by Bostik - a company that usually make products for gluing things together! :lol:
