minor confession today.
I like BSA hollowtech II bottom brackets and usually manage not to fark things up, but yesterday I got it into my head to use Parktool Anti-seize on the threads of a new frame instead of motorex dayglo green grease. I managed to kludge the fuck out of one of the cups and spent a certain while cleaning all that crap off, before putting the green grease on and everything screwing on properly.
The parktool anti-seize seems fine for smaller screw-in jobs. NFI why it went turd-shaped for the BB. maybe the threads on that side weren't chased properly, or the park tool ASC-1 went wrong when applied to the dried stuff that the factory applies to the cups. I assume it's some sort of thread-locker goop??

Why the fuck is it so hard to fit a seat into a seat post??? I collected my new ks dropper today and holy fucking shit that cunt of a thing nearly went through the wall. Between the huge glob of thread lock seemingly installed at factory and the nut not being threaded properly I was having a difficult time. Shit dropping all over the shed! Pliers, g clamp, vice, extra arm, post wedged in my arse, seat dick in my mouth...fuck me I couldn't get shit to go together. In the end I had the 3 way ninja Allen key in rhe vice, 2 bits of ply g clamped onto the nut, bolt on the tool and all my force just to get the nut up and down the fucking bolt a few times to get a thread into it.
Then after all the swears and fucking around it does up just fine.

Have to agree. Fitting a seat can either go very easily or be one step away from hell.
Fiddly bolts, finger gymnastics and weird angles, it has it all.
Love or hate the I-Beam, it worked well, never creaked and is all sorted in a few minutes even if you take your time.

Your main fuckwit moment was not putting the post in the frame first......

Do you have a video of this you would like to share?

I would suggest a bigger hammer.
It is the only way to say to the world that 'I really tried and was strong enough to accept that any result would be a good result'.

Sounded like you needed to strap on the seatpost!

If it's anything like the Shimano anti-seize, it has little ceramic balls in it. Works great on things like seatposts and spoke nipples, is not so good with fine threads like BBs.

Doesn't Abbey or Silca make a specific tool for this?

Don't know if it has little grits or ceramic beads or whatever. It hasn't ever kludged up rotor bolts or the like. I think the park tool anti-seize has tiny flakes of aluminium suspended in the grease, AFAIK.
Isn't what you are describing carbon assembly paste? I have the finish line one that's a clear gel with silica grit or beads in it.

Carbon assembly paste has little plastic balls that deform in it. The ceramic balls aren't meant to deform.
Very similar outcome though. Prevents galling and helps to prevent parts from moving.

I have the Finish Line one too. Then I was introduced to the anti slip paste from Motorex. Amazing shit; it is just smooth paste that is pressure-activated. No more grittiness when trying to put something together and making fine adjustments before tightening it down. It also minimises the damaged caused to surface finishes when using the gritty style paste.

Morgan Blue Aquaproof Paste works similarly but is more affordable.

Nice! My little tub of carbon paste is almost empty after a few years, those look like good alternatives.
