thread locker
Thread-locking fluid or threadlocker is a single-component adhesive, applied to the threads of fasteners such as screws and bolts to prevent loosening, leakage, and corrosion.
Most thread-locking formulas are methacrylate-based and rely on the electrochemical activity of a metal substrate to cause polymerization of the fluid. Thread-locking fluid is thixotropic, which allows it to flow well over time, yet still resist shocks and vibrations. It can be permanent or removable; in the latter case, it may be removable merely by force or may also require heating, for example. Typically, brands are color-coded to indicate strength and whether they can be removed easily or require heat for removal.

ADM mounts, blue LocTite, and simple instructions with a little orange pillow.
Hello everyone who has made it to this thread! I just hoped to gain a bit of insight into this strange new compound that threatens my trust in that tasty blue LocTite that I’ve known and loved for years as a 17 year veteran of parts hanging and battles mostly lost with the red version.
