Loctite Info
Some good information from a fellow modeller,
Might come in handy. For anyone who is unaware and interested, Loctite is a company which makes many different products for many different applications. They make much more than just threadlockers. The more common threadlocker codes are given below. All of the following (except 272) break down at 300 deg. F. The ones marked in bold are the most common. 222/222MS (purple) low strength 242 (blue) medium strength 243 (blue) medium strength, oil contamination tolerant 290 (green) medium-high strength, low viscosity, wicks into threads, not for use with loose fits 262 (red) high strength, generally requires heat for removal 271 (red) high-very high strength, generally requires heat for removal 272 (red) high-very high strength, high temperature tolerant (up to 450 deg. F), generally requires heat for removal 277 (red) very high strength, for large bolts over 1" dia, generally requires heat for removal Loctite "Form-A-Thread" is also an excellent product, which can re-thread low temperature bolt holes in aluminum, steel, and magnesium.

Re: Loctite Info
Lots of people don't realize that a primer is required to get the full strength on metals that don't rust unless using some of the new primer-less formula's.

Re: Loctite Info
The old adage 'to learn a new thing every day!' applies - I never knew that - thanks for putting it up MikeCam. I also never knew that Loctite was a 'Henkel' product!
Obvious I should Google my way to Loctite! |

Re: Loctite Info
Also when removing anything held with locktite type compounds ,heat it up with a torch or electric soldering iron prefered and give it a little time for the heat to work and just spin it off instead of tearing it loose.
