    I don't make mokume myself so this is an unqualified stab at an
    answer. There are nut-to-bolt anti-seize compounds that are used in
    the auto industry that prevent a situation similar to what you
    describe. They look like they might be a mixture of graphite and a
    grease-like carrier. Perhaps that might provide an inexpensive,
    low-tech approach. I might be way off base here too.
