LOTS of NEVERSEZE (bad spelling I know) will also IMHO help with
grouding and taking down the tower years later.

For lightning protection, is it generally considered good practice to

between tower sections?

My reading of the Polyphaser technical papers is that bonding between
sections is not done for many of the reasons already mentioned.

My guess is that the electrical connection between one tower section and
the next might be somewhat variable, especially if the tower sections
weren't new when the tower was assembled.

So long as the galvanized metal surfaces are clean when assembled, there
should be adequate bonding between the two.
