Water
Works well, but is slow.
Cross threading is much faster.
First-aid iodine works, by corroding the threads.
Use stainless and shoot them together fast. No additive needed.
That can work, but you risk breaking off the bolt in the body/nut. A simple hammering of the male threaded object works wonders.
Nail Polish works you can even add a couple of drops of thread locker to improve mixture.

Shellac is traditional. Can be undone with alcohol, at least for the first decade.
Fingernail polish from the 99 cent store. Been using it for years.
