Find this thread very amusing. Have been involved with R/C cars for over 20 years & own a hobby shop. BLUE threadlock is & always has been the ideal product for use on R/C cars. The packages we sell state as follows; Meduim strength, parts can later be seperated using hand tools. Of course if you do not use the CORRECT tool or are very weak there may be a problem. We use it on screws down to 2mm with no problem.
Regarding microns, someone really needs to do a reality check. Must be the water in Seattle.

The earth use to be flat also....remember?

Your point?

I really don't care for people who want to make a point about this product....or that product....and while doing so....try and force it down others throats.....or their intention is not to "teach" others....but instead it seems that they want to ridicule others who have years of personal experience using a certain product.

Now....If I'm not mistaken.....isn't "word of mouth" a good reference for many reasons? I know I have either avoided using/trying certain products because many people have explained what is wrong with it.....or on the other hand.....they will also let the public know when a product is good....what it is good for....and offer....in many cases....not only excellent advice in how to use it.....but also have years of experience to back up what they are talking about.

For me.....I enjoy hearing from users who are respectful when trying to share information....about any product.....and I think it's time and energy wasted to try and ridicule anyone who may disagree with personal thoughts or opinions.


So....that being said.....I have to say to the fellow who seems to be taking everyone to task that does not agree with his opinion about not using the blue loctite.....save your breath! I think there is enough experienced people here that have offered more than satisfactory advice about how well the blue loctite works....and why it can be used safely.....and that there really aren't any serious "side affects" from using it.

Now....where is my blue loctite?

So rennspeed, I guess what you are saying is that you don't understand how Loctite works. Just as a refresher (considering you don't understand what a micron is) 242 blue Loctite is formulated by some pretty knowledgable guys known as chemists to perform under conditions allowing at least 50 microns of airspace (gap) inside the threads.

Apparently you believe that Loctite only hires dumb chimps to create and refine their products as well as write up technical information for all to use. Apparently you also believe them dumb chimps just think that they created multiple Loctite formulas for use in multiple situations. When really we just let them think we they did. Darn them dumb chimps.

hey crash u use blue locktite right?? you are able to get your screws out ??

here is the kind of thredlocker i used. I ask the people at the hardwear store if they are sure its removable and they said yes so i took there word. I see no reson why it wouldnt be removable when it clearly states that it is.

What part of this document do you not understand?

Threadlocker

...and why would anyone go out of their way to purchase a less desirable product for a particuular application from a company who makes a product specifically for it? Just makes no sense.

It's no different than going to the gas station to fill up, popping open the gas door and disregarding the "Unleaded Fuel Only" sticker and filling up with leaded fuel. I mean come on people, Wake up!

WoW! Let's end this topic now! If you want to use then use it if you don't then don't.

}{unter.....Yes....I do use it....and yes....I have been able to remove the screws that I put it on without damaging them.

delcampo...I agree.....let's stop with the ridicule and get onto more informative information.

How about we give it a rest guys?

ok thats all i wanted to know thx crash... come on guys i never wanted to make a big deal or a fight over this post so please just like he said if you wanna use it use it..

Why do I get the feeling this guy would cut off his right arm to get people to buy into his loc-tite theory.

This guy was sending me PMs after my first response to this thread, basically telling me that he is a wizard in the machine and loc-tite category. I should have known by the screen name.

I didnt respond to those PMs because nothing in this world would change this guys mind.
God could loc-tite a screw 2 inches from his eyeballs, let it dry, unscrew it and he would still wouldnt admit it.

As for that bottle of loc-tite in the picture...Godlyone, You saving that for a special occasion?


Then this guy talks about the reason we use loctite...

"The biggest reason many people grab for the Loctite for use in their RC is because their threads are worn down from either excessive use or over-tightening"

What?

Does this guy even have an R/C car?

LoL

You know what, we just need to drop this whole conversation because buddy is not going to let go of that bottle of loctite.

Lets just agree to disagree.

Thanks

i use blue lock tite on my brand new savage21 and i have not had any problems gettin screws out i will always use blue locktite and that is all im saying i will say no more

Must suck to be oblivious to facts and live with an inability to distinguish a helpful lesson learned.

I'll let it go now. The truth has been written and I have followed up with all the facts in the world to support it. It's just unfortunate that some people feel they should persist in giving out wrongful information.

Well,
I usually NEVER use LocTite. When I assemble an engine, instead of using a liquid tread-locker, I use lock-washers. They do the job and don't pull the threads. A steel screw entering aluminum could be problematic. I sometimes use "blue" on the engine mounts. If the screws do pull the threads, no big deal. Engine mounts are cheap. If I pull a thread while removing the head, I'll have to re-drill and re-tap to a larger size or get a new block. That's the reason for the lock-washers. The best combination for the loctite is steel against steel. As an example; the steel pilot nut/shaft onto the steel threaded crankshaft.

The bottom line is my signature (lol).

Locktite Blue can be a irreversible bond on small fastneners but in my experience is related to thickness of the material being fastened to. In other words if the plate is 1" thick with a 1/4 " bolt it may or may not come loose but if the material that you are bonding to is less then 1/4" thick the laws change. In this incedence we are talking much less. Blue is a good choice in this application!

Guys, Guys, Guys....

Calm down, I have made my selection of loctite a long time ago and am satisfied. Please let's just stop the madness.

Move on to more productive matters.

Thanks, later

yea the people are gonna use Loctite any ways no matter what u tell them whiether it comes out or doesnt in my oppion Blue does and red doesnt

It mostly depends on the brand you buy im sure there is some brands of "Blue" out there that want come out
