my friend and i use red thread locker only. the blue stuff is worthless. we have never had any problems with loosening stuff we used red thread locker on.
My experience is just the opposite ... If I properly clean and dry the fastener and use red, it usually requires quite a bit of effort to get things loose ... Now if I don't properly clean and prep the fastener, red is really not that tough ... And even less with blue ... FWIW, loc-tite is only as strong as the prep allows it to be ... (grease, dirt, grime or oil will render any thread locker worthless IMO) ... At which point it only becomes a thread "filler" ... [/b]
