Loctite 242 sets in minutes and cures in 24 hours but it will only do this
in the absence of air.

I am looking for a product that I can dispense via a few drops onto 
assembles hardware that will dry hard, bond, and resist weathering and UV.

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?
