Loctite Thread Sealer

[Ray M Durham]

I know Loctite makes several thread sealer strengths for bolts, but does anybody know which one is recommended if the bolt may need to be removed in the future after application? Thanks

Loctite Hydraulic thread sealent would probably work for you or maybe loctite blue. You can use heat to loosen any loctite thread locker.

Or just loosen the damned bolt with a wrench... I've NEVER yet had to heat up ANYTHING no matter WHAT grade of Loctite was used to stick it together.

you would need medium strength blue. Apply to the hole not the bolt.

yep, use the blue loctite. the hydraulic thread sealer does not last...i have used it at work 3-4 years...and am now going around fixing,
this time im using good ol teflon tape.
my 2 cents.

I have had to head the max strength locktite up to loosen bolts. Are you using the primer cleaner after you clean up the threads internaly and externaly.
