All,
        Here is a description of the Loctite Brand of thread
locking adhesives.  Enjoy.


Loctite 222MS - Low Strength / Small Screw
A low strength product that is perfect for small fasteners 
up to 1/4" diameter (6 mm), long engagement length fasteners, 
and components requiring occasional adjustment. 

Loctite 242 Removable
Medium strength, general purpose. Ideal for all nut and bolt 
applications. Especially suited for 1/4" or larger fasteners. 
Removable with hand tools. 

Loctite 262 Permanent Strength
A permanent, high strength product that is applied to fasteners 
3/8" to 1" (10 to 27 mm) in size. Localized heating and hand 
tools are required to separate parts. Solvents will not weaken 
the adhesive bond.

Loctite 290 - High Strength, Wicking Grade
A low viscosity thread locking liquid, 290 wicks along the threads 
of pre-assembled fasteners to secure them in place. Penetrates 
threads by capillary action; simplifies preventive maintenance. 

Loctite Primer N 7649 (Acetone)
Locquic Primer N decreases the set-up time of Loctite® 
threadlockers and increases breakaway torque on most fastener 
surfaces. Allows cold weather application.
