I think 1600F is what most copper is good for. I haven't seen the nickel in auto parts stores around me, but I need to get some. I'm thinking I just need to order it online somewhere. Anyone have any pointers on who may carry it locally, such as an Autozone, NAPA, etc?

If you are using it for the grounding shield on 05-07 4.6 GT engines then the copper will not work. You need nickle anti-seize which is good for 2,400 - 2,600 depending on manufacturer. The copper is only good for use on spark plug threads as it will burn off almost immediately from the grounding shield. A small tube of the nickle will go a long way because you only need a VERY LIGHT THIN COAT.

guys, just for reference....
about 2000 miles ago, i put nickel anti-sieze
on the lower part of the plugs (like the TSB
recommends).....i just pulled my plugs and pretty
much all of it was gone.
what made pulling the plugs easy for me, was the
copper anti-seize that i had put on the threads
i'm not saying this will happen to everyone, just
an fyi
