Tacx Carbon Asm Paste- for carbon seatposts. I've been wanting to try this. Is it working well for you?
Zep 45- I don't use this much as it reminds me of death.What is it?
Wheelsmith Spokeprep- For spoke threads. Does it work like lock tite, or is it more adjustable?
DT Swiss Spoke Freeze- To lock spokes if needed. Basically locktite.

The Boeshield T9 is the best. Check it out.
The carbon paste works well, although I don't know of much else you would want to put on carbon/carbon.

The spoke prep is for building wheels. It's not like loc-tite.
The spokefreeze was indeed "Developed in conjunction with Loctite."

Many people use locktite to build wheels. The Idea is to prevent the spokes from loosening. Unfortunatly, it can give a false sense of tightness. That is why I asked about the Wheelsmith.
The DT Stuff is basically just mild strength locktite. I have used it in place of lock tite before. It has the same disadvantages.

slich honey is pretty fast. feels almost like a thick oil. can't speek to well about pertection cuz i haven't had it in anything long. it'd be awsome for headsets.
