Default 'Loctite' and marking of Bolt & Nut?

Hi Guys,

2 quick qustions:

1) is there any advantage of using 'Loctite' or similiar thread locking adhesive on the normal AN bolts without possitive locking mechanism?

AND

2) what do they call the product used for marking the bolt & nut head after fitment to show if any relative movement have occured?

Thanks in advance
Rudi

1/ The nyloc nuts should be fine - but we used threadlock anyway.

2/ The product is "Torq-Seal". We 've put in on everything - We mostly view it as an indication that the bolt is torqued & finished with rather than trial fitted & forgotten.
