anti sieze compound for glow plugs

Hi Guys
Anybody got any comments on using grease or any other compound on glow plug threads. I need to replace 1 glow plug on my 605, 5 cyl. 2.5l, Alloy head, in a W202. Ive used a product called Copaslip (in the UK) on outdoor threaded parts and it does stop them siezing up. Its a copper based "grease", but how would it do on an aluminium Cyl head ?. Any comments greatly appreciated.
Peter

I am using anti-sieze on my glowplugs. Not sure of the formulation, but I can check. So far I've only replaced glow plugs on the 1987 300D with aluminium head. I'd use the same compound on the iron head 1982 300D as well.

Lubro Molly makes an anti-seize paste that is fantastic.

How's that for digging up an old post?

Add the airfare from Scotland and it gets pretty pricey.
