Thanks! The blue locked the thread solidly and afterwards the bolt came out easily without heat.
Is the 680 stronger than the red and do you have to use a torch with a lot of heat to get a bolt out?
680 is not intended to be used as a thread locker. It is for bonding loose fitting parts like bonding in a bearing into an oversized bore.
i know that but it works great as a thread locker also, work in food production stainless steel and fryer oil all the time, its property's just work for us .... we also use it as a cyl lock when you work for a major corp to get the right lock tight is a circle jerk if not on the approval list take 3 to 1 year to see if we can even get it ...
I have been using a tube for a few years. A little dab will do. So far no complaints at all.I used the Blue to lock a thread on the mounting bracket for my bicycle seat and it worked perfectly. Now I discover that I need to do the job again because the seat needs to be re-positioned.
Loctite will not guarantee the results from a tube that has been opened and used before even if it is re-used before the expiration date. I've used this tube only one time and resealed it quickly afterwards and stored it inside. It does not expire until Mar. 2024.
Has anyone had the actual experience of re-using a tube of this a 2nd time before the exp. date and getting good results with a strong bond? Thanks!
