I used Loctite on SS nuts and bolts on a beam and its boom attachments
on a tower in Manhattan.
When it was removed about 8 years later, there was no galling, easy
removal and everything was reusable.
It worked fine.

I spoke with our Loctite rep. He said that Loctite with work to preclude
galling on stainless fasteners. Might be a thought.
