For you, or us on a small scale (and time to make sure the bolts are
clean), it may be, but apparently for industry, it's not.

## say what ? Blue loctite is used all the time in the automotive and race
car world. Put blue
loctite on the 6 x .375 SS bolts that hold an OR-2800 rotor to the rotor
plate...and you wont be
having bolts coming loose anytime soon. I used blue loctite in loads of
places on my Roush mustang,
nothing comes loose... including the new one piece AL driveshaft..which spins
at 6500 rpm.
Plenty of local folks here in town also use Red loctite for automotive
applications.
Purple loctite is weaker than blue loctite, and is another alternative. Red is
the strongest.
## I would not use red loctite for small stuff like machine screw size....
otherwise you will never get em out, they will
be as good as welded into place.
## UST uses nylocks for all 22 pulleys used on my HDX-689. Non of them
loosen up. Between nylocks and
blue / purple loctite, you are covered.
