Teflon tape and grease, for each session on the water as written in the manual versus real life?
Is the main reason the instruction manual on foil assembly says "laninol grease and then teflon tape before each session on the water"... just to minimise/avoid metal corrosion on bolts/screws/foil components?

if so, then no real need for all that time consuming fiddling with this, if just assembled for the day or a few days of fun on the water, when disassembling again shortly after? Its not like taking the components apart is difficult after just a few days assembled. And what components is it that corrodes the most? (Cost to replace, versus all the trouble and funtime on the water lost as result)...

or does aka the teflon tape also function as like keeping the bolts from rattling loose/off when out windfoiling on the water? If so, then there is maybe a valid case to also use the teflon tape even for shorter durations between assembly. Just the teflon tape without the grease at the same time is also so much easier to apply...

what is your routines these days after longer experience with the windfoils?
are the bolts rattling loose easily?
have you changed your assembly routine over time and does it really make a difference if just assembled for short periods of time?
