I've never seen this mentioned before, so I thought I might suggest it. When setting tenons and/or rivets in heavy, large assemblies, I've found it useful to wipe the tenons & rivets with mineral spirits/paint thinner first. The solvent volatalizes, yet provides some lubrication that prevents parts from freezing up during assembly.
Kerosene might work as well, but I have found better results with mineral spirits.
