Great product for working on RC cars and small machinery

I wish I knew this product existed a couple of years ago. I have been using the blue Loctite on my RC cars and often times fine that the blue still has too much holding strength for small fasteners. This purple formula works absolutely perfect on M3 and M4 set screws that do not require a more permanent fastening solution That you often get from the blue or red. I find the purple Loctite product to be superior for my needs and I highly recommend it for anyone who works on RC cars or small hobby items that may frequently need to be disassembled repaired and reassembled. Highly recommend this product. I Read more

You don't always need medium strength

In one of my hobbies, blue, red, rocksett, are often suggested. After some research and reading, such strengths of threadlocker aren't always necessary or recommended. For smaller fasteners or those with finer threads, low strength is recommended. This is to avoid potentially stripping the fine threads or snapping the heads of small fasteners. So, when I was installing a red dot on a mount, I decided to use this. So far, after "a few" rounds, the optic is still firmly mounted and the zero hasn't shifted. Read more

This is great stuff!!

they say low strength but it works perfect for a lock washer type of grip. I used this stuff for years in the 70's. I'm using it again because of its inherent ability to work just right. Read more

Reliable Threadlocker for Securing Aluminum Parts

he Loctite 222 Threadlocker for Automotive (High-Temperature, Low-Strength, Anaerobic, One-Piece Assembly, Non-Corrosive, Purple, 6 ml Tube) has proven to be indispensable for my projects, especially when it comes to securing screws on aluminum parts. Given that many stores nearby do not carry this specific Loctite product, I was pleased to find it online. As with all Loctite products, it worked exactly as described. The low-strength formula is perfect for applications where easy disassembly is required, yet it still provides enough hold to keep screws securely in place under high temperatures and vibrations. The non-corrosive nature of the threadlocker also ensures that it does not damage the metal surfaces, maintaining the integrity of the components. For anyone needing a reliable threadlocker for automotive applications, especially on aluminum parts, I highly recommend the Loctite 222. It’s a trustworthy and effective solution for locking and sealing screws. 🚗🔩🛠️ Read more

Good stuff

I use a lot of the Loctite 242 variant for various projects and thought I would get this variant for a 3D printer build I am doing. So far it's working great and I will purchase more. I was going to purchase a large bottle of this but it seems there are a lot of phony versions of this on Amazon in the large size, so I purchased the small size and it seems to be the real deal and seems to work like it's supposed to.

Works great on small removable screws.

Works great on sight threads, action cover plate screws and ejector button threads. I was glad to find it. Degrease the threads with alcohol before using. A S&W wheelgunner’s friend. I also used a very small amount on Ruger pins. Read more
