Suppressors what are the cool guys using on suppressor threads?

Never had a problem with this. I’ve had the same tube for a couple years. Doesn’t take much and stores easy in your range bag.
Permatex brake parts lubricant works better than antiseize. Whether it’s nickel or copper they can react with metals and cause issues. I have also had the copper antiseize corrode. The purple brake parts lubricant is fully synthetic and works great and has a 3000 degree temperature rating.
Yup, this tube will last forever. Caution not to store it in your range bag unless it’s inside a baggie or container to prevent it getting on the bag.
man, just as there was a consensus to use some type of lube, someone has to throw a grenade in the pool! question: with my first suppressors, years ago, I would put them on dry, leave them on for a while, and it seemed they got "stuck" on and i would have to constantly put them in the vice (barrel vice" to get them undone,, and even then, the main part of the suppressor would come off the threaded part.
does that happen with you? maybe you take them on and off so much, it doesn't have time to get stuck?
Rocksett! though that's on the HUB threads and my QD adapters
the direct thread .22 is either clean dry threads or a little anti-seize if I plan on dumping a lot of rounds.

Rocksett for QD adapters and plumbers tape for direct thread.
When I put a suppressor on a QA/QD, I will place the buttstock the rifle on the ground/floor while tilting it back a little on the top of the butt stock, then brace the QD attachment with a wrench while hand tightening or loosening the suppressor with my other hand. This way your not repeatedly torquing down the adapter on and off the threads of the rifle each time you mount or dismount a suppressor. You can find yourself unscrewing your QD adapter with your suppressor after X amount of times taking it on and off. And if you find yourself putting any pressure on the muzzle threads, the rifle will just spin a little letting you know to get it right.

I take the can off after every session...sort of eliminates the frozen in place issue. Also, I use 419 mounts and there are wrench flats on the part that screws into the can....takes care of the issue that way also.
Plenty of carbon seems to get into the threads so....bit of carbon remover and clean them up every time I clean the rifle.
Samething I use on the Boeing 737s I work on.
