I would like to see a similar test under vibration conditions. Hang a known weight from each sample & subject the bar to the same vibration then compare time to break free for each. Loctite is primarily designed to protect against vibration & temperature related expansion & contraction effects, not so much for static rotational loading.

When they had training wheels, my kids’ bikes’ wheels used to fall off all the time-usually at least twice on a ride to and from the nearby park. After realizing that my work used loftier to prevent just this on our products, I used regular Elmer’s glue on the nuts & bolts. The training wheels never fell off again!

And, let’s not forget to mention, but most times the video’s creator, for whatever reason, has some very loud and obnoxious music playing non-stop for the entirety of the video, while completely drowning out any and all of the commentary!!! All too often, here on KZbin, I see videos where a very small portion, of the overall length, is actually useful information and actually pertains to the video title. So, for example, lets just say that we’re watching a video that is 20 minutes long, in duration. Well, within that whole 20 minute video, there lies approximately 3 minutes worth of useable and/or pertinent information and the other 17 minutes, that could have easily been wiped clean and just left out of the video all together, being nothing more than just some generic and useless garbage that may or may not pertain to the actual content of the video. Some people love to repeat the same stuff over and over. They try to tell you the same thing, but in a different way. They tell you about how old they were when they first found out that Easter bunny wasn’t real, when the video is about “how to grow vegetables in a small backyard garden”, but only 3 minutes is about vegetables and gardening when the other 17 minutes is about who knows what!!! So, instead of a short and simple 3 minute video, such as the video we’re currently commenting on, they will give everyone a 20 minute video that’s filled with so much useless garbage that it’s almost just too much to even watch.Then, on top of that, they pull the old “Local news at 10” trick where they force you to watch the whole video and wait until you’re almost all the way through the video before providing the viewer with the actual information that they came to see in the first place!!! So, All in all, they make you sit through the first 17 minutes of nothing before giving you what you’re really looking for, which, in turn, makes you feel even stupider and really dumb, with even less brain cells from watching such garbage!!!

I always felt like the red was used for breaking strength and the blue helps with backout strength so a screw wouldn't walk out from vibration. That's how I use the red and blue in the rc hobby. Red if I don't want it to move at all and blue if I just need to make sure the screw doesn't fall out if it does break loose.

There is a slight flaw in your test -- if you are pulling vertical down on your scale, the actual lever arm length depends on the cosine of the angle. It would only be 1 ft when the wrench is horizontal. It gets shorter when the wrench is at an angle. If you were using the scale on the torque wrench (which is probably not super accurate but should be repeatable) angle won't matter.
@skie6282
@skie6282 Жыл бұрын
Your right, but the measurable difference is probably only around 1 ftlb, so to show a load difference between three sets of nuts while loosening them the same way, itll still show a difference. The numbers might be a little bit off but the fact of red vs blue vs no loctite having different stengths is shown.

Everyone likes to think the red loctite is "permanent-forever-welded-torches to get it off" but in reality it only requires a bit more torque to break it free. Rust will always cause more problems and realistically loctite prevents rust so it probably makes most bolts easier to remove over time in the North.

Such is the reason Red Loctite Threadlocker is listed as "Permanent" by the manufacturer and less apt to vibrations, usable for gasoline and petroleum presence areas. Cure time is 5-15 minutes dependent on the material used; Steel, Brass, or Stainless Steel. The manufacture advertises a 3/8"-16 grade 5 bolt break-away at 6.25 to 18.75 ft. lbs. (in. lb. conversion) The use of "Primer" accelerates setting times; see manufacturer's specifications. In many cases, Loctite specifies the use of the red color, (dependent on product number for purpose of use) for larger gap areas. Please be aware that simply the color does not mean the application. In the automotive machine shop business, I use many Loctite products, always with the trust of proper function when using the proper "primer" before application. Thanks for your video posting.

There’s loads of different loctite , that’s why they represented by a number. It has to do with application also . I’ve had specs to follow that you use 3 dots( when you squeeze the bottle a droplet falls ) up a thread to a line up ( you squeeze a line and it remains a line , not bladdered everywhere) the thread. One application we use a line on thread on a highly flex frame and a bolt under high stress . We torqued up to 30lb and breaking it is 90Lb-120lb . If we fit to less it’s comes free or seizes in place due to moisture , apply to much then the only way to crack it is using loads of heat ( not what you want on a highly flexible frame ) . The right application you can usually find in manufacturers assembly/service guides

In most uses it's just to prevent backing off of nuts or bolts, etc. The blue is for the ability to hold but still be able to back it off without damage. The red is to hold in more adverse conditions and be much harder to loosen and back off. I have had situations were red has been used and did not back off this easily. And yes, at times it did require me to heat it up. To say that this is not required is foolishness. I never use red unless I plan on basically never needing the nut or bolt to ever be loosened. Otherwise it's always blue. And all that is with or without lockwashers and such. Just another safety step. Specially on fasteners that could cause serious damage or injury.

I have to agree with others that the real benefit of any Loctite is to keep the fastener from rattling loose once it has come a little bit loose. I have a .22 cal handgun that had the front sight come loose every time I shot it. Finally I cleaned the threads in the barrel and the screw and reinstalled it with blue Loctite. It hasn't come loose again in 40 years. I use blue on fasteners in my large model airplanes. Just don't get it on plastic. It will embrittle plastic like servo output shafts and cause them to break.

The first nut didn't want to budge when using a ratchet so i grabbed a 36" breaker bar and i was able to get it loose. Second nut was tough with the breaker and i ended up turning breaking the bolt right off. For the rest of them, i gave them a light torching and that made the rest of them simple.

Something's wrong here. My experience is far different. I used Red on studs (replacing lug bolts) on my track car. When ready to remove the studs, the only way to loosen them was with liberal use of a torch first and far more torque than referenced here. Note that I used spray brake cleaner to clean the bolts and holes first. As the tests in this video show, not cleaning the bolts can be nearly equivalent to not using Locktite.

Red - Stud lock Blue - Nut lock Plain nut - If torque tightening is loosened by thermal dynamics or other stess the nut will spin away. With blue on it will not. ( like a nylok nut) Loctite Super Wick In - is a good thing aswell

If those are stainless steel nuts and bolts won’t it take longer to cure? Loctite says stainless steel and zinc plated steel are considered inactive and will take longer time to cure.

Is is possible to remove LOCTITE 242 residue from painted surface? I used Loctite 242 for the screws to attach black painted bar ends weights to the handlebars of my motorcycle. Unfortunately, I had some Loctite residue on my hands during assembly, which left some ugly fingerprints on the shiny black paint of the new bar end weights. Is it possible to remove the loctite residue from the bar end weights somehow without damaging the paint? Maybe with chemicals, heat or buffing?

Personally I think it would take more like 3 days of dry conditions for the friction medicine to dry, in the usual places. Unless they are dried in the sun or warm air circulation around them for 24 hours.

Maybe I'll redo the test and let the parts sit for several days before removing the nuts. Thanks. 😎

Loctite does not air dry, it is anaerobic. It remains liquid if any air is present.

What, no calibrated torque wrench? Aren’t there more than 2 different kinds of Loctite? Also, what if you use a primer?

Excellent tests, but it's 24 hours really sufficient for the two Loctites to set completely? I have found Loctite Blue still damp after a day, when I used it on a 1/4"-20 bolt and nut for a project.

The directions say 24 hours for full cure. I’m comparing longer cure times now with the last test period being 1-year. Stay tuned… 😎

test fingernail polish to the blue . lot of times i just use fingernail polish as a substitute. locker it to help keep the nut from backing off under vibrations. red is used of crank shaft nuts and other high speed nuts . blue is for body fenders frame . lot of times a book wil say what to use .
