Always use anti seeze . Everything from gas 454 to injected nitro and a few teams I have helped running top fuel.

If don't mind why looking for other?

I put them in dry but have seen many others use a dab of anti seize on the threads. I've never had a plug seize in the threads.

Excessive anti seize on plugs is known to cause misfire. Besides, that shyt gets on everything.

That's why I use this and not anti-seize.

Nothing on them here. For ever. If you are seizing spark plugs in aluminum heads you are overtightening them.

I use a small dab of anti-seize, don't have misfires & never seized a plug. Use it/don't use it, it's your choice. Wink

I did not use anything for years. Now I am starting to use a little Anti-Sieze on them again. Brodix says to So can not hurt.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I used to use antiseize on plugs until NGK said not to. They claim the coating on plug prevents it from galling. They said it does not allow heat transfer properly.
