    Thanks for not dragging this out for a half hour.... I like getting right to the point.
  • I would like to see a similar test under vibration conditions. Hang a known weight from each sample & subject the bar to the same vibration then compare time to break free for each. Loctite is primarily designed to protect against vibration & temperature related expansion & contraction effects, not so much for static rotational loading.
  • @CybeastFalzer
    Thank you for the comparison in a short video. It was bullet point, accurate and didn't make me fall asleep. Props!
  • The point of Loctite is to keep the nut from backing off, not to keep it from being able to be undone. If you don't want the nut to ever move, weld it.
  • @Reecefpv
    I always felt like the red was used for breaking strength and the blue helps with backout strength so a screw wouldn't walk out from vibration. That's how I use the red and blue in the rc hobby. Red if I don't want it to move at all and blue if I just need to make sure the screw doesn't fall out if it does break loose.

  • @source1zero
    I love how you covered all the variables. Nice one Dad =)
  • @matthewh5996
    Was a great reinstatement for the hand-loosening afterwards. Blue was easy to remove but enough to stop rattling off id suppose. Thanks for the video

    I was not looking for anything like this video. It just showed up on my front page. However, I’m liking and commenting because you didn’t drag this out and it was informative. Good video and straight to the point.

    What a much more pleasant test than those conducted by Project Farm. No shouting. No unnecessary repeating. No resulting headache. Good job.
