Flat black Molybdenum Disulfide and Loc-Tite
For the query I refer to a bake-on surface similar to what is done to M-16 rifle exterior parts. I have discovered two companies who claim to apply a similar surface with .0003-inch build-up. This translates to being able to apply to a reciprocating/moving part and have no problem with the part functioning correctly.

One of Moly-D's benefits is a reduced friction surface that becomes more nearly friction free under load. Loc-Tite -- the version that allows the screw to which it is applied to be removed -- is intended to bind male and female screw surfaces when air is not present.

Will Loc-Tite keep screws and screw holes having Moly-D surfaces bound in place?

If Loc-Tite becomes ineffective, please suggest something that will bind screws securely yet can allow screws to be removed.
