Penetrating Threadlocker

[ShinyPartsUp]

Anybody used this product or similar ones? Sounds useful on the multitude of things that rattle loose on my KLR, or things already bolted/screwed on for some folks on the FJR that are a PIA to remove. Any experience from the cognoscenti here? I never heard of it before.

Explained Here (not an ad, just the first place I found the product):

K&N Store

And looks like this:

Kinda like BLUE locktite?

If your not willing to take something loose to locktite the threads don't waist your money on a bottle of anything. If a bolt is tight your kidding yourself if you think that locktite is going to work it's way down into the threads and hold it.

But, but, they wouldn't lie?! Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so!

Might be cool not to have to undo a dozen or two bolts on the KLR then locktite and redo them. So far I've waited for them to loosen one-by-one a little, then do it.

That's what the ad-man words say. The data sheet says it wicks to the threads and hardens. But don't use near plastic/paint. That would, I think, limit it's utility. And yes, when dry it supposedly is similar to blue locktite, depending on the spacing of the threads. The larger the bolt, the looser the bond.

Anybody actually use it? results/ observations?

I'm with JWilly on this one and call ********. Anything thin enough to seep into seated threads probally would not have much of a locking ability. I bet if you put in on a removed bolt, it may work just like Blue Locktite. I wouldn't waste my time or money trying squirt this stuff around tight bolts.

I agree with Zilla on this one, If it has enough capillary action to penetrate a seated bolt. If anything, it will loosen the sons of *******! Not a good idea!! :blink:

Hey Shiny,

Loc-Tite has always sold a green penetrating thread locking compound.

Your stuff looks like a copy of that.

I have used the Loc-Tite brand in an industrial environment, and had good luck with it.

If I was you , I wouldn't hesitate to use it, irregardless of what people who haven't used it have to say.

We still need to meet at the Ilahee sometime.

You're the Dooood! I appreciate an informed opinion.

I am really up for an Ilahee desert, if you don't mind being seen with a guy on a KLR. I have no kids or wife to slow me down this weekend; :bike: :good: give me a PM...

Wicking loc tite has been around for years. There are some assemblys that once set up you don't want to disturb the setting so you need a penatrating locking compound. They also make one for sealing welds that is handy.
