Re: Reguarding Loctite
Very true as my friend found out after replacing his motorbike front mudguard 3 times due to cracking around the fastener hole.10 Wheeler Rob wrote:Another tidd bit is never use around Plexiglas (acrylic) or Lexan (Polycarbonate). It will make it stress crack or craze overnight.

If you go to their web site you will find that is not true. There is nothing special about the bottles. The chemical reaction requires a catalyst which is in the metal.dgoddard wrote:The different grades work differently in some respects. Yes, the stuff is anerobic, however you might wonder why it does not harden in the bottles. According to some of what I have read, the bottle material is special in that it "breathes to prevent hardening. When trapped in the threads between a screw and a nut, the reduced access to air brings about the "hardening"

And why does the stuff that runs down the outside of the spout harden on the plastic threads?magic9r wrote:So what's the common catalyst in copper, 316 stainless, Aluminium and Titanium?Ed P wrote:If you go to their web site you will find that is not true.
