Very interesting about the oxi free environment ! I wonder how long the
stuff I have open will last? I definitely am not looking for something
to apply to threads that will not get exposed rather I need to apply
several drops over the exposed threads and nuts after they have been
applied and help them stay put. As usual a lot of great ideas. TU to
everyone.

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?
