Hello,

I just got done refinishing my stove and the bolts that hold down the glass on the doors seized up. What is the best way to prevent this? My first inclination is don't torque them so much and use some hi-temp "anti seize" on the threads.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thats what I would do. Auto parts store should have something that will work.

see if you can find nickel - silver screws - these are used on electrical heating elements and are practically imperious to the effects of heat.
