which thread locker to use?

[yzkeb125]

I have some red thread locker but it seems to get my stuff to tight and I strip it. Tired of drilling those things out

[boohoo]

you want to try blue thread lock it should make unscrerwing things easier as its not permanent like the red stuff

You also do not need to SOAK the screw. Light application works best. Never use Red unless you absolutely will not want to remove it. (Besides drilling it out).

i use red ALWAYS blue sucks get some good allen wrenches and youll be fine its not permanent and sometimes you can add heat it helps loosen it up and yes i SOAK em in RED lock TITE

Yeah.. the OP said he used Red and was wondering what other people were using... So we said " Blue "...

Use Red all you want.. Everyone has an opinion.. but it seems your method may not be working that well for you.. since you said...

We are all here to help each other out. The OP just wanted some advice.

Using lots of any Thread Locker is a bad idea. That is from over a decade running Nitro... and screws just seem to FALL out of those machines if you dont use a bit of Blue thread locker. Never had an issue with Blue and depending on where the screw was, a small amount of Silicone sealant over them if they were getting a bit stripped / loose. The silicone is easily peeled off, then the screw can be removed.

Agree with the general concensus of using blue threadlock . A little dab on the end of on side of the screw is all that is needed . This advice from 25 years as automotive tech .

another good one is nail polish, yea its a tad lady-ish, but it works really good and the ol ladys never finish a bottle so you can always have plenty... seriously it works good

I use blue Locktite quickstik 248. A lot cleaner and easier than using liquid threadlock.
