“As important as gun oil is to a firearm…”

By Crazy Schnauzer on 26-03-2023 (18 people found this helpful)

Be careful when you cut the tip off the applicator because this stuff has the consistency of white out and will spill out of the tube if the hole is too big. I used a safety pin to make a hole which worked well because you don’t need a lot of this to effectively do the job. I’d also recommend wearing rubber gloves when handling this otherwise you risk getting Loctite on your hands and whatever it is you’re handling.

“It works, but is very liquid – you probably want the loctite glue stick instead of the tube”

It’s blue loctite, it holds bolts and nuts in place as it is supposed to do, and you can reopen them with some effort. It works fine and I’ve used it many times. If the liquid stuff is what you want, then this is a good one to get.
