Aluminium Barrier Coating

[FullCircle]

Evening All
I am refitting bits to my mast as the pop rivets were looking very careworn, and I could see aluminium oxide dust coming out of a few areas.
Can anyone recommend a barrier coating between the fittings (possibly stainless) and the mast, to help with a galvanic barrier?
Ta.

Duralac...

Duralac is used throughout the world in the aero industry. It's a yellow paste, sold in tubes. Appears expensive, but a tube will last you for ever. From better chandlers, or search on the web.
