Re: Loctite
Thanks Khumba.
I'm giving the Loctite a miss and am now taking the choke key with me when I go to the clay range.
All seems 'good' at the moment.
Extended chokes are on the shopping list...when funds permit
Regards.
Keith.

Re: Loctite
Not the best idea to recommend loctite based on colour. The green one (290) I have in my workshop is the wicking type and is stronger than the 'blue' (243) and pretty equal to the 'red' (263). In fact I have often destroyed threads trying to forcefully remove nuts that have had 290 applied.
Perhaps you meant the purple 222 loctite?
I also have other green loctite (retaining compound for bearing shafts) which would not work well in threads.
Here are the probably the three most common loctites, http://henkeladhesivesna.com/blog/th...threadlockers/
And here is the entire range, soooo confusing especially since every bottle looks the same

Re: Loctite
I like the lineup of normal threadlocking compounds:
222 Low strength.
243 Medium strength
270 High strength
Was just looking for the 308, 338, 375, 416 and 458 grades...

Re: Loctite
Strange that, I find it too be very strong. It is very thin because it is the wicking type, so you apply it after the bolt has been tightened and it flows into the thread with capillary action. If you apply it before assembling the bolt /nut then I guess it may be act very differently as most of it does not get into the engaging threads.
