hey we all have use some locktite ever read the back of the package or just to much in a hurry!! well one think that you might what to know is DON'T touch the metal bolt to the end of the tube.

the reason locktite need two things to set up Air/Metal.

technaical people;
the metal fosers get inside the tube and with a little oxygen the tube will harden.
ever wonder way the tube was made out of plasics and not a metal tube like rtv??

also don't use on plastic or alumen bolts it will not set up. unless it has harden metal bolt.

If you use brake parts cleaner to clean your parts, make sure your parts are clean & dry before using thread locker & assembling. I used brake parts cleaner in a threaded hole that was in an aluminium housing & the brakeclean didn't dry out. I used thread locker on the bolts & assembled. After about 2 minutes I started to see smoke coming from the bolts & there was a harsh smell. I pulled the bolts back out & had to clean & dry everything. I don't know how toxic the smoke was but it was enough to make my eye water & hard on the nose.
