Default Fuselage Question about Permatex

The fuselage kit comes with a small bottle of Permatex threadloacker blue--medium strength. Where is this used?

Thanks

You found a it listed on the pick ticket / packing list?

I think you acquired it somewhere else... I am pretty sure it is not supplied in any kit.

Don't try that as I'm ordering(today) my third rear window for missing that revision. Most screw holes have cracked and not one that did not have thread locker on the screws shows any sign of cracking.

i dont think ron said that strong enough, NEVER GET LOCKTITE OR ANY THREAD LOCK ANYWHERE NEAR ACRYLIC you will be replacing it very soon. it WILL cause crazing.
