When discussing Loctite, be careful in specifying which color you use.
I once bought some Loctite which was designed to allow pieces to be
disassembled with hand tools. It came in a red tube, but the actual
goop was blue. I then heard that the reverse was true: the "red"
Loctite comes in a blue tube (is this really true?).
I assume, Kirk, that you're speaking of the goop color and not the tube
color?
