Just curious if many builders use the blue locktite very much on your project.
I have been, especially where there are super critical fasteners like the nuts holding the carb on that only have a lockwasher and the jam nuts on the pushrods.
Sure seems like good practice.
Thanks in advance.

I use it with nutplates. Anything that has to be torqued, I use the green kind that wicks into the joint since you really don't want anything on the threads to lubricate them when you're applying torque.
Of course, now 20 people will tell me I shouldn't be using it...
I use it on all kinds of small stuff like the screws/nuts that hold connector shells together. I haven't used it anywhere FWF.

I was advised by our avionics tech to use BLUE loctite on screw terminal etc as the RED is to strong and may break the terminals before you can back out the screws.
