A handy-dandy chart describing the commonly available grades of Loctite and their applications.
Of note should be the top left hand corner- For those who talk about "Loctite Blue" and "Loctite Red"- this is the important detail.
Interesting points (or I think so):
Top left Threadlocking- Be aware that "Red Loctite" comprises 3 different grades, in 2 different strengths....The High Strength stuff (277) is the very Devil to remove if you get it in a thread you didn't want it on.
For those looking to fix sleeves, bearing and other smooth sided tubes in place- Threadlock ain't the puppy- but the stuff in Retaining is and is over a different formulation. I've used Loctite 680 green on plain bearings. I needed to use the oxy cutter to get it off.
Instant Bonding- Mid right- Loctite 480 is a 'rubber filled/toughened superglue'- I've used it and it is amazing stuff for repairs- and more water resistant than your normal stuff
