[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2694044, member: 5412"] And 99% of the people applying any Loctite product put on too much causing a lot of the issues. On a 5-40 gun screw thread, a spot at the tip of the screw, the size of a pin head is all needed to secure the screw. Anymore is asking for trouble down the road. When I worked at a company that built vibrasize trucks for oil exploration that vibrated hard enough to shake the ground, a 2" bolt only needed a spot of the blue about the size of a nickel on one side. Two years later that truck would come in for a refurb, and all the fasteners were still secure. [/QUOTE]
