I have been using locktite on the screws for my heli the red stuff pretty much insures that when you take the screw out the threads will come with if it is in aluminum. The blue stuff does not seem to hold so I come up with something different I used Liquid Tape when I could not find my locktite. When I went to take it apart the parts come apart about like they do when you use a Nylock maybe a little more resistance but they come out without stripping the head or the threads it really works better than locktite..

Wonder how it would hold up with a constant exposure to alcohol and nitro?

Wonder how it would hold up with a constant exposure to alcohol and nitro? I guess that depends on how much alcohol you plan on drinking. |

Excellent, considering that blue often attacks some plastics. Learned that the hard way? Have to try this one!

Teflon is too slippery the liquid tape is more like having a screw in a rubber tire tight but removable without removing threads it should work well with plastic.. Ray
