I keep a box of crayons in the tool chest for just that reason. This trick works especially well when you have two disimilar metals (i.e. aluminum casting, steel bolt). As a mechanic for Thermo King for five years, I can say that Crayola has saved at least 20 compressor bodies from the scrap heap. Peel the wrapper back on the crayon, have it reasonably sharp so you can pinpoint your wax right at the top of the threads, heat your casting, and feed it in...instant bolt lubricant. This works so good, after extracting the bolt often times the wax is on the threads all the way to the bottom!
