Not so fast everyone!
If you do even a little research on the internet like searching for "using anti seize on spark plugs", you will find that there is a lot of opinions (yes, opinions) that suggest to NOT use anti seize on plugs.
Their claim is that if you use anti seize on plug threads, the lube characteristic of anti seize allows you to easily over tighten them and give undue stress on the plug threads or the threads of the head or both. The possible result being the very thing you are trying to prevent!
I still plan to use it on my plugs however, it will be a THIN coating and I will definitely not torque down the plugs as much.
Here is a great article on this topic:
