That's the first I'd heard from that industry and I'm sure there are 
others, but most I talked to over the years didn't use locktite 
compounds once NordLocks became available.

I worked in a metal stamping plant (first job) and chemical plants in MI 
and KY.  None used LockTite.   I don't know the reasoning.

##  Nordlocks  would be 100X  faster to install.... vs  prepping
bolt and nut threads to  accept the locite goop.   And zero hassles
when it comes time to undo the nut !   Who wants to have to blow torch
nuts and bolts....when RED loctite has been used.   Esp on tower legs, or
anything way up a tower...pita.
