Just wondering what you use for the typical sealants and lubricants in your aircraft.
For example: fuel fittings, fuel gaskets on fillers, throttle cables, door hinges, pulleys, fuel tanks, aileron cables(chains), etc. Thanks.

Aviation Form-A-Gasket #1, Fuel Lube, LPS-2, LPS-3, LPS-1, Kroil. Not necessarily in that order.
Best of luck,

DC-4 for oil filters and RADAR waveguide O'rings.
MIL-8802, PRC-8802, DTL-8802 for sealing fuel cells and around (military) antenna bases
Titeseal for older engine cases (unless the overhaul manual has been revised)
Weldwood contact cement for upholstery repairs

aileron cables(chains) - don't have them
Thanks for your responses. Let me offer some more specifics in one area: Fuel tank with a threaded filler neck, sumps with gaskets, steel to aluminum fitting for fuel drains, and threaded aluminum to aluminum fittings for vent lines. Thanks again.

I never lube those. Ever. I do use gasket sealer on the threaded fittings.
