Blue Locktite all the way.

That reminds me - what's the difference with all the colors?

As stated, different strengths and applications.  I use to use blue, now all I use is red....never had a problem with breaking a bolt or having to use heat to loosen a bolt or nut.

Locktite also works better if the threads are clean (no old locktite, oil, grease, dirt, etc.).  Use a wire wheel and/or brake cleaner to clean the threads before application....then assemble and torque to spec.

What I'd like to know is why does loctite blue come in a red bottle ?

I've wondered that too.....blue comes in a red container and red comes in a blue container.

So we have just one  more  thing  to have to remember!   BTW  it's Saturday aftn, WTH is everyone doing online? It's beautiful out, i'm going to the woods!
