Question Door latch clean up

Decided to post here ... this may apply to more than my year model. BTW, not a concourse, but just a driver.

'72 Lemans Sport Vert ... just removed the door latches to clean 'em up and reinstall. Cleaned up well, and I understand that white lithium sprayed in them will give them some better function.

When I removed, the three screws on the door appeared to have some "white waxy" substance between the screw and door indentation. Probably to get a better water seal from water leaking in the door gap and getting inside the door (my best guess).

Any ideas what the white wax substance was/is? Or any recommendations on what to put on the threads and head of the screws to get a good water seal?

TIA,
Ogre

Water is going to find it's way in the door anyway. Use anti seize on the threads and call it good, so they stay lubed and come out another day.
