Loctite

I usually carry two brands of loctite,, medium and heavy "thread locker"

I picked up some Loctite 609 just for curiosity sake. Its bragging rights is that it will act as a shim as well as a retaining substance.

beware!!! this is some good stuff. I placed a small amount on a 1/2'' nut (on the side of the nut, not the threads) then i placed another nut up against it. I cant break em apart now cause its cured. My father inlaw retired from Timkin Roller Bearing in Canton OH and he says ,,"yeah, when that stuff sets up and you dont have the bearing race just right,, it takes heat and a chissel and a grinding wheel to loosen it up.

good stuff if you ask me. I only experimenting with it in order to use this stuff in place of shim stock.
