Titanium bolt query - copperslip vs threadlock

As the title suggests I have a query about Ti bolts. I've bought twelve ti torx bolts for my disc rotors and seem to remember somebody recommending threadlock instead of copperslip. Can a ti expert out there give me some advice?
 
copperslip is the standard anti seize for titanium
given what can happen ,do you really want to use anything but?
 
Haven't used Ti bolts for years because they seize solid if you so much as look at them funny. I seem to remember copper slip being OK but I'm pretty sure we used to use a silver based grease which worked really well. I guess it depends if you ever want to get them out again!
 
If you don't put some copper slip or anti seize compound on the threads you are asking for trouble. Dont use threadlock - you will never get them out if you want to replace the rotor.
I have had some seize before and it is a pain to get them out. :shock:
