Just to be clear, it helps stop the poly (or glue) from adhering to the threads, but any poly on the threads will still act as a mechanical wedge once it dries. So, I'm afraid it isn't a magic cure-all.

Also, just to note, the longer the poly sits, the harder it will get, making the mechanical wedge effect worse over time.
