The 242, 262, 243 etc "standard" Loctites need an oxygen free
environment and contact with iron to properly cure. The containers
interestingly are oxygen permeable. It won't cure on aluminum unless
special activators are used prior to fastening, but still requires
absence of oxygen.
Mcmaster has a large selection of numerous sealing and adhesive systems.
Including light activated, two part epoxies and acrylics, super glues,
silicones,.....

I assumed Locktite Blue or Red would do that for me but I have since
learned there are dozens & dozens versions. I clearly picked the wrong
products as they never "dried" or hardened. I have 263 Red and 242 Blue.
Even a week after application both can be rubbed off flat aluminum with
little effort.......not what I am after.
For lack of a better description is there something out there that has
the consistency of thick nail-polish that will dry hard and help keep
the hardware from coming loose?
