I see the concerns of seizing when silicone is applied to threaded parts. I’ve applied silicone to o rings on threaded end caps many times, and to really make that a concern is you either are not being aware of lube application, are all thumbs with two left hands, or just don’t care. Either way, for that seize to happen, that’s a lot of lube on the threads! My original post was two, maybe three drops at every 5 gun top offs. Those three drops will be lucky to even make it to the threads, as it has an o ring typically in the way and if you had a leak, well that’s the only way but leaks get fixed immediately.
three drops will migrate into the regulator, then eventually into the valve, providing not a flood of lube but a thin coat.
My intent was not to force upon a maintenance idea, but to see who else does this
