Threadlocking compounds
« on: December 20, 2011, 11:01:00 AM »
Permatex is less expensive than Loctite, and seems to be more readily available in local stores.  Anybody feel there is much practical difference in the blue/red zone between the two brands?
 
Edited for clarification.

If you want it there forever use red, but if you think there is a chance you will ever want to take it out use blue.

It's my understanding that any of them will release if you heat them up a bit. Have I got that correct?
